Styling Views Exposed Filters Selects in Drupal 8
Styling the HTML <select> tag to appear similar in all the different browsers is a task unto itself. It seems on each new site , I find myself back visiting this post by Ivor Reić for a CSS only solution. My task for today is to use this idea to theme an exposed filter on a view.
