Setting Text Color of Checkbox and Radio Button Fields
I have seen this in the past, but it wasn't as much an issue as it is now, so I'll ask. I have a custom form with a dark background and I'm using white color for my field label text. I can set that no problem. I use the default light background for the field input areas and black text appears. That is also fine. However, I do want radio button fields and check box fields to appear with white text instead of the default black. Unfortunately, so far, the text for selection values for radio button fields or for check box fields do NOT change to white. They remain black no matter what color settings I use in the Display and Color sections. Is this a known limitation? Known bug? Do I have to edit the overall default properties at the server level??? I'd probably just put some kind of light background under those fields before I'd resort to that. I'd hate to have to set a gray/light background in just those areas of the form as it would be a huge visual distraction from the flow.

Re: Setting Text Color of Checkbox and Radio Button Fields
Just tested/verified the problem on new test form. Here's how to see my problem quickly... 1. Create new form (display-only or regular) 2. Under appearance, set background color to custom and make it black 3. Add a small trim box and set its background color to custom light gray. 4. Add a radio button field and set the COLOR - Label\Text Color attribute to custom white. Note that only the label text goes white. The data text (Default1) stays black. Verify by moving the radio button data over the gray trim box. Demonstrated problem: Label\Text Color attribute does not change data color on selection fields (radio button and check box) data text.

Re: Setting Text Color of Checkbox and Radio Button Fields
Actually I don't see setting the data color of ANY type of field. Label/Text color does exactly what it says On Data type fields it set's the label's color. On Trim fields (the text displayed is really the label) it sets the color of the text. You might be able to do it using custom CSS styles Fred From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Ray Gellenbeck Sent: Wednesday, August 14, 2013 4:46 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Setting Text Color of Checkbox and Radio Button Fields ** Last call before I give up...anybody?

Re: Setting Text Color of Checkbox and Radio Button Fields
Thanks. I'll just go with a grey background before I mess with the css path. Seems borderline dumb to allow changing of the label color but not changing the data color. You can even set the data FONT in some field types, but never color. sigh. ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Where the Answers Are, and have been for 20 years
