I have a regular text field with a height of 20 px in Layout mode. In Browse mode that height is respected. But when I select the field, the height seems to triple and a blue border is added. How do I get rid of this behavior? No doubt it has to do with the stupid Themes thing, but how do I edit that? And is there a way to completely remove the Themes/Styles from a database? This feature has zero usable themes as they are ALL UGLY. I create a nice pro look and copy paste fields, Filemaker Themes/Styles s*ck.

A demo showing the problem would be useful.

I don't think there is a way to "completely remove the Themes/Styles from a database". If you know how to "create a nice pro look" then why don't you create your own theme? And frankly, no one likes to read a rant.

 

Criticizing ugly stock themes is not necessarily ranting, but cancel culture responses aside - I found what I overlooked. Coming from an older version I am was not very familiar with Themes/Styles and did not know that you had or could format 'Hover', 'Pressed' and 'In Focus' as well. Having duplicated a stock Theme, the formatting I changed in 'Normal' mode did (logically) not update the other 3 modes. So to explain the issue, in 'In Focus' mode the field had the stock padding applied (where I changed the default to 0 padding), hence the field growing when selected.

Anyway, solved...

That is totally uncalled for and I resent it very much.

LOL, you're probably on your own now.

Come on guys, this forum is to help and be helped in all Filemaker related. Playing Dr. Phil is not Filemaker related, and more so not helping anybody.
