I purchased the theme on wordpress..and am not sure where all the coding is that you need. Is there any way that I could have you log into it and see for yourself? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/font-color-of-form-fields#post-50860 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 17:23:52 +0000 Rob Harrell 50860@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm having a hard time finding that style block - which CSS file did you place it in? You have a gazillion CSS files in your theme - so trying to figure out where it might be at this level is cumbersome and also every theme is setup differently so I'm not sure of your hierarchy. If you removed it, can you add it back in for me and point me to the CSS file so I can see what's going on.</p> <p>Also, are you even using this anywhere in your theme at the moment?</p> <pre><code>[css] input[type=&quot;text&quot;], input[type=&quot;password&quot;], input[type=&quot;email&quot;], textarea, select { background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #222; border: 1px solid #444; border-radius: 2px 2px 2px 2px; color: #777; }</code></pre> <p>If not, you might want to just update that to reflect your needs, or make that selector more specific with an ID or a class. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/font-color-of-form-fields#post-50854 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 16:18:06 +0000 theireton 50854@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>still the same =/ </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/font-color-of-form-fields#post-50847 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 14:56:02 +0000 Rob Harrell 50847@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Try it now, I edited the above slightly with some !important declarations. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/font-color-of-form-fields#post-50845 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 14:40:35 +0000 theireton 50845@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Ok I copied and pasted the coding that you had in your reply into my css stylesheet for the theme and no change. </p> <p><a href="http://www.neverstaysilent.com/about/our-team" rel="nofollow">http://www.neverstaysilent.com/about/our-team</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/font-color-of-form-fields#post-50815 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 11:25:42 +0000 Rob Harrell 50815@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Looks like in your theme you have this:</p> <pre><code>[css] input[type=&quot;text&quot;], input[type=&quot;password&quot;], input[type=&quot;email&quot;], textarea, select { background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #222; border: 1px solid #444; border-radius: 2px 2px 2px 2px; color: #777; }</code></pre> <p>If you want to retain that style and not mess with it, then you will need to target gravity form's inputs only with something like this and place it into your theme's css:</p> <pre><code>[css] .gform_wrapper input[type=&quot;text&quot;], .gform_wrapper input[type=&quot;url&quot;], .gform_wrapper input[type=&quot;email&quot;], .gform_wrapper input[type=&quot;tel&quot;], .gform_wrapper input[type=&quot;number&quot;], .gform_wrapper input[type=&quot;password&quot;], .gform_wrapper select { color: white !important; border-color: #666 !important; }</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/font-color-of-form-fields#post-50812 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 11:11:57 +0000 theireton 50812@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>On my forms, the font color that a user types in the form fields is very similar to the background color of those boxes. How can I change the font color to white?</p> <p><a href="http://www.neverstaysilent.com/about/our-team" rel="nofollow">http://www.neverstaysilent.com/about/our-team</a></p> <p>Also, the outline of the boxes could be lighter in color as well.
