Someone else asked about this before, here was my fix.

> This is the evildoer: [image] should kinda be defaulted by ignition, as the color assigned there serves no purpose, (also what a weird class name) but can be fixed: change this into theme.css .ia\_dropdown\_\_valuePill\_\_value { color: unset; } or inject it into a styleclass }.ia\_dropdown\_\_valuePill\_\_value { color: unset; }{ [image] for the dropdown shape you can do the same for .ia\_dropdown\_\_expandIcon { fill: unset; }

you should not modify the base theme.css files but create a new one which overwrites that line. Or use css injection
