Brian Gardner's Custom Theme Edits on Minimalist-Pro Template

[Vasilis]

Dear awesome people

I recently installed Minimalist-Pro on my website (after using Genesis Simple a couple of years) and having a couple of questions.

1. Trying to customize a menu search bar following Brian Gardner's website search bar appearance

Followed the StudioPress guide to add the search bar on my navigation bar like this:

//* Add Navigation Menu Extras
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'theme_menu_extras', 10, 2 );
function theme_menu_extras( $menu, $args ) {

	if ( 'primary' !== $args->theme_location )
		return $menu;
		ob_start();
	get_search_form();
	$search = ob_get_clean();
	$menu  .= '<li class="right search">' . $search . '</li>';
        return $menu;
}

And after copied Brian Gardner's custom CSS from the "Search Form" area .CSS file - using this:

/* Search Form
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- */

.site-header .search {
	float: right;
}

.search-form:before {
	color: #000;
	content: "\f4a5";
	font-family: 'Cormorant Garamond', serif;
	font-size: 16px;
	right: 15px;
	position: absolute;
	top: 7px;
}

.entry-content .search-form {
	margin-bottom: 40px;
	width: 50%;
}

.site-header .search-form {
	margin-top: 4px;
}

.site-header .search-form input[type="search"] {
	background-color: transparent;
	border: none;
	border-radius: 0;
	font-size: 12px;
	font-weight: 400;
	letter-spacing: 1px;
	padding: 5px 0 5px 10px;
	padding-right: 35px;
	text-transform: uppercase;
	transition: width .15s ease-in-out;
	width: 100px;
}

.site-header .search-form input:focus[type="search"] {
	background-color: #f5f5f5;
	transition: width .15s ease-in-out;
	width: 200px;
}

.widget_search input[type="submit"] {
	border: 0;
	clip: rect(0, 0, 0, 0);
	height: 1px;
	margin: -1px;
	padding: 0;
	position: absolute;
	width: 1px;
}

Is there something I'm doing wrong and it won't appear like it is supposed to?

2. I would like to add the left from navigation menu scrolling down logo graphic on my website.

Is there a specific suggestion for this (creating a new widget area?) or should I just copy the CSS and it will work?

Your response and time is much appreciated
