• For my website, I’m using the Kadence theme adjusted to have a black background with white text. Entrywizard forms display OK, but when items in the form have dropdown menus with choices, the text in the dropdown list is too dark, until the cursor is hovered over a list item (see .doc file here). It is usable, but is there a way to brighten slightly the unselected items in the dropdown list? If so, please send details.

    Your theme is probably doing most of the work, and I’d suggest checking into any colour options there.

    But in EntryWizard there are two different situations, depending on whether one or more than one items may be selected. If only one, the dropdown list should be controlled by the file styles/entrywizard.css. I don’t recall setting any colours for dropdowns, but there could be interactions between that file and your theme.

    But if multiple selections are allowed, the the jquery multi-select plugin is used, and the file styles/ewz-multi-select.css would be in control.

    Either way, you would need to understand some basic css in order to change the files.

    Thanks for your reply. I tried altering appropriate text/typography colors in my Kadence theme. I also swapped many colors for brighter ones in the css files you mentioned in your reply. None of these changes altered the front end display of the forms. On the JQuery site, I noticed that one can construct a dark theme and download it. Is that for the back end and is there any use in thinking about that for the front end, considering that I do not know how to integrate a theme into the plugin?

    Apologies, I was working from memory — it’s years since I actually wrote that code. It seems the jQuery plugin is only used on the back end, so would be irrelevant for your purposes.

    The colours of the dropdowns in the front end really should be controlled by your theme, although they may just possibly be unintentionally affected by the styles/entrywizard.css file, along with css from other plugins. EntryWizard was certainly designed with a light theme in mind — I’m afraid I find dark themes too hard on the eyes to consider coding for them.
