  <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
  <script src="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.3/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

In slate theme, I don’t see the text “No File Chosen”. and after selection I don't see text with "selected file name"

with exact same code, and vanilla bootstrap I can see those texts... can anyone help me understand how can I get that working in slate theme? as specially after the file is selected I need to show the name..

Just change the color: `input[type=file] { color: white; }`. Also, your markup is not valid HTML, validate it. — vanburen, Jan 11 '17 at 01:08

You just need to change the text color since the bootstrap default is rgb(51, 51, 51) and the Slate theme is using a dark color for it's body background (#272b30 / rgb(39, 43, 48)).

CSS Example:

input[type=file] { color: white; }

Working Example:

input[type=file] {
  color: white;
}

  <div class="col-md-8">
    <label>Browse
      <input id="uploadfile" name="uploadfile" type="file" accept=".csv">
    </label>
  </div>
</form>
