How do i change the backgrond color of a drop down box.

I'm creating a form which has a colored background and a drop down box with 5 choices.  The problem is the font color in the drop down box is white and so is the background color of the drop down box so the selections are not visible unless you scroll over them.  I would like the background of the drop down box to match the background of the form. 
Also, can the font size of a selection in a drop down box be different then what is displayed.  The font is set to 35 so it's huge when displayed in the drop down box.  It would be nice if the selections were displayed in the drop down box in size 10 font but displayed on the form once selected as size 35.
Thanks!
Mike

You can set the background colour with (in formcalc):
$.fillColor = "5,5,5" // obviously changing the numbers to the RGB colour you want
or if it is not going to change just set it in Border tab under Background fill.
For the size of the font - set the dropdown box to size 10 font and then in the exit event of the dropdown list put (in formcalc):
$.font.size = "35pt"

    Themes work in Thunderbird - duggabe was not refering to Firefox.
    Another useful addon is theme and font changer:
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/thunderbird/addon/theme-font-size-changer/
    However, Thunderbird allows you to modify all sorts of things.
    Make hidden files and folders visible:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
    Help > Troubleshooting Information
    Click on 'show Folder' button
    a window opens shwoing profile folder name
    Close Thunderbird now - this is important
    In the profile name folder, Create a new folder called '''chrome''' - note the spelling
    It should be in the same place as the 'Mail' folder.
    see first image below.
    Open Notepad
    Can be located : Start > Programs > accessories
    Copy everything shown between the lines below.
    Paste into Notepad.
    Save as '''userChrome.css''' - note the spelling (edit updated - this was a typo error)
    This should be saved in the '''chrome''' folder.
    see second image below.
    Restart Thunderbird.
    I have chosen a yellow for you
    <pre>
    #f6f58c = a yellow....it is a hex code for a colour.
    </pre>
    You can change it if required. Remember when updating anything in the profile folders, you must close Thunderbird first.

  • How do I change the background color of a row in a table indicator?

    Hello,
      How do I change the background color of a row in a table indicator? I know how to change the background color in a active cell, but that is not what I want. My first intent is to make the background color of the first row a unique color, such as green, just to highlight the top row of the table.
    Regards,
    Kaspar
    Regards,
    Kaspar

    I have done this before by using a for loop to change the active cell of a row in order to give the appearance that the whole row is turning the color at once.

  • How do I change the line color in a chart in Numbers on my iPad?

    How do I change the line color in a chart in Numbers on my iPad?

    Whenever I try to shift+direct select it thinks I want to move the line, so as I shift + direct select and drag my mouse across the line (to highlight it all) it moves a chunk of the line and turns it into a near perpendicular line.
    I found the appearance window, it just says "Path" (the color I want it to be that it's not)
    "Stroke" 4pt
    "Fill" (the color I want it to be that it's not)
    "Opacity": Default
    And some other buttons. I think I'll try the help line tomorrow, I know I saw a customer service number somewhere and I'm only here because the chat was unavailable. This is only one of my 3 problems with my assignment so I'll search here for answers to the other two. Learning new things is rarely fun.

  • How do I change the default color in pages.

    How do I change the default color in pages.  Everytime I try to copy and paste a passage, I am unable to do so because it seems that the ink is always white on white.  Sometimes I am lucky and can change it using the color box in the format bar, but it's a rarity when I'm able to do it.

    What version of Pages & what version of OS X are you using?
    A problem with an early Software Update for Snow Leopard caused a lot of problems. The problem is not whether or not your system is the current version but how it got there. You must use the combo updater, not the one from Software Update unless it specifically states it is the combo. Software Update will only offer the combo if your system is two or more versions behind.
    If you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '09 (or '08 if that's what you're using) folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

  • How do I change the font color for numbering in a matching question slide?

    I have a grey image on a question slide, but the numbering for the answers in a matching question is defaulting to grey so learners can't see to match up.  How can I change the font color of these choices?  Thanks.

    You probably edited the master slide without changing the theme colors? Check the Object Style for Answers in the Object Style Manager. The numbering takes the same color as the answer text.
    All depends on the Theme colors palette that you are using. Normally Question answers use the darkest tint of the fourth color. I started blogging about color management, but description of the use of Theme colors will be published later.

    You can change the background display color in the playback preferences, either black, white, or checkerboard. This does not change the output color. If you want to add a color to the video, you have to place a custom generator underneath your video and change the color in the inspector.
