Hi, 

You just need to overwrite the styles, like below, and then make sure your CSS styles are available on the authoring page, for that, you need to include your CSS in the correct clientlibs category (cq.authoring.editor)

    I went through the same need. Here I am giving you an example of teaser component where we have implemented the same thing.

     

    <sly data-sly-use.clientlibs="${'com.adobe.cq.wcm.core.components.models.ClientLibraries' @ categories='example.components.teaser', defer=true}"> ${clientlibs.jsAndCssIncludes @ context="unsafe"} </sly> <div data-sly-use.teaser="com.adobe.cq.wcm.core.components.models.Teaser" data-sly-use.component="com.adobe.cq.wcm.core.components.models.Component" data-sly-use.templates="core/wcm/components/commons/v1/templates.html" data-sly-use.imageTemplate="image.html" data-sly-use.pretitleTemplate="pretitle.html" data-sly-use.titleTemplate="title.html" data-sly-use.descriptionTemplate="description.html" data-sly-use.actionsTemplate="actions.html" data-sly-test.hasContent="${teaser.imageResource || teaser.pretitle || teaser.title || teaser.description || teaser.actions.size > 0}" id="${component.id}" class="cmp-teaser${!wcmmode.disabled && teaser.imageResource ? ' cq-dd-image' : ''}" data-cmp-data-layer="${teaser.data.json}"> <sly data-sly-call="${imageTemplate.image @ teaser=teaser}"></sly> <div class="cmp-teaser__content"> <sly data-sly-call="${pretitleTemplate.pretitle @ teaser=teaser}"></sly> <sly data-sly-call="${titleTemplate.title @ teaser=teaser}"></sly> <sly data-sly-call="${descriptionTemplate.description @ teaser=teaser}"></sly> <sly data-sly-call="${actionsTemplate.actions @ teaser=teaser}"></sly> </div> </div> <sly data-sly-call="${templates.placeholder @ isEmpty=!hasContent, classAppend='cmp-teaser'}"></sly>

    Basically isEmpty is the main thing for the placeholder text you want.
