any ideas why ?

Set the white as RGB(255,255,254) or so… ?

#3

thanks, but that does not make any difference

#4

Did you fill the “hint” perhaps instead of text since that normally shows a little greyed?

is this control input enabled?

I tried everything I can think of,

Are you sure it was that, I’m seeing that you have “Read only” switched on, as well, that might change the color too, can’t remember right now. But good that everything is working right now.

I don’t think read-only change the text color. Hint and enabled off will.

Thank you for your clarification. Read-only does have an effect in Web 2 (which I understand somehow, but not entirely :wink: - I think it should be a choice and customizable ) … wasn’t sure about desktop.
