I'm trying to change the style of selected items in a multi-select dropdown. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/9/5/959150a0d1bfee9cf3771a38cfd6ba8514ac817b.png) Instead of the gray background, I'd like for it to be transparent or white, with a thin border. I'm probably doing a dumb but I don't see it in the props or styles. ---

You're going to need to use the Advanced Stylesheet, a custom theme, or style injection in order to do this. Look for the classes: ```auto .ia_dropdown_valuePill .ia_dropdown_valuePill__value .ia_dropdown_removeValue ``` ---
