drop-down colors make text illegible

drop-down colors make text illegible

Hi there, 

Looking for some help from the brilliant moodle community. I've cloned the "clean" theme. For some reason the drop-down menus are gray text on a darker gray background - so they're basically illegible. See image below for an example. 

 

What should I add into the custom CSS to change the colour to, say, white?

Oops, this was my own dumb fault! smile I had inadvertently copied over the following in my custom CSS which I previously required to "fix" an issue in the afterburner theme:

 

select, input, button{background-color:#696969; padding:2px;border-color:#696969;} /* Buttons */

 

Removing this code fixed the issue.

Good that you found a fix.  Still, not much gets my ire than all these grey on white text entries.  I have often felt that the ADA should have a hand in this.  Unfortunately if they started now, then there would still be all these web sites that already have it. 

You even find it at the ADA web site.  For you it was accidental and corrected but what could these other, well paid, designers possibly be thinking about when they do this?
