Styling the calendar for html5 native datepicker

I don't think there's any cross-browser way of styling it since every browser implements their own calendar differently. The easiest way (if you can use external libraries) is to just use jQuery UI Datepicker, which without styling will just give you a basic calendar popover that you can then customize the styling/positioning with CSS. Let me know if you need help with that.

You can then use the native html5 datepicker/calendar as a fallback for browsers that have javascript disabled

Change color of Chrome's calendar icon in HTML Date Input

I've managed to work around it for now using a CSS filter to invert the black color to white

::-webkit-calendar-picker-indicator {
    filter: invert(1);
}

However this feels quite fragile and far from ideal.

how do I change the position of date picker/ calendar icon in html and CSS without using bootstrap

input[type="date"]::-webkit-calendar-picker-indicator {
    color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
    opacity: 1;
    display: block;
    background: url(/*yourURLHere*/) no-repeat;
    width: 25px;
    height: 25px;
    border-width: thin
}

<input class="input-field date" type="date" placeholder="Date and Time">
