White text and pull down menus

[Justin P.]

I have a transparent field with white text. The field itself is a pull down menu, but I notice that the pull down menu is always WHITE, meaning the text cannot be seen (white on white).

I cannot color the field background, because it is on top of a gradiated image that needs to show through. Needless to say, the background image is dark.

Am I missing something mighty obvious, or is this a rather slack piece of programming on FM's part?

Thanks for sharing your expertise with me!

Not sure about v7, but in earlier versions you change the text color by going into Layout Mode, then selecting the field, you go Menu Bar >> Format >> Text Color and Select the color you want.

Sorry, didn't communicate my need very well.

I have two requirements for my text field:

(1) Must be transparent background

(2) Text must be white.

So with this in mind, is there a way to make the actual pull-down menu not appear with a white background? (so I can see my white text in the pulldown)

Thanks.
