How can I customize the styling of Google Maps InfoWindows?

Styling Google Maps InfoWindows

Google Maps provides a limited guide for styling InfoWindows. This article examines techniques for customizing these elements.

InfoBubble

You can achieve many styling options with InfoBubble, an alternative to InfoWindow.

infoBubble = new InfoBubble({
  map: map,
  content: '<div class="mylabel">The label</div>',
  position: new google.maps.LatLng(-32.0, 149.0),
  shadowStyle: 1,
  padding: 0,
  backgroundColor: 'rgb(57,57,57)',
  borderRadius: 5,
  arrowSize: 10,
  borderWidth: 1,
  borderColor: '#2c2c2c',
  disableAutoPan: true,
  hideCloseButton: true,
  arrowPosition: 30,
  backgroundClassName: 'transparent',
  arrowStyle: 2
});
infoBubble.open();

Info Window Custom

This script extends GOverlay, creating a more flexible and customizable info window.

/* An InfoBox is like an info window, but it displays
 * under the marker, opens quicker, and has flexible styling.
 * @param {GLatLng} latlng Point to place bar at
 * @param {Map} map The map on which to display this InfoBox.
 * @param {Object} opts Passes configuration options - content,
 *   offsetVertical, offsetHorizontal, className, height, width
 */
function InfoBox(opts) {
  google.maps.OverlayView.call(this);
  this.latlng_ = opts.latlng;
  this.map_ = opts.map;
  this.offsetVertical_ = -195;
  this.offsetHorizontal_ = 0;
  this.height_ = 165;
  this.width_ = 266;

  var me = this;
  this.boundsChangedListener_ =
    google.maps.event.addListener(this.map_, "bounds_changed", function() {
      return me.panMap.apply(me);
    });

  // Once the properties of this OverlayView are initialized, set its map so
  // that we can display it.  This will trigger calls to panes_changed and
  // draw.
  this.setMap(this.map_);
}

Note that you may need to override multiple methods when using Info Window Custom.
