Does anyone know where to find the setting in ignition that controls the color of the selected text on the screen. below is the CSS code that controls it. I am working with a predefined theme from my company and the color they picked is impossible to see on a white background. ```auto ***Works on common browsers*** selection { background-color: #352e7e; color: #fff; } ``` ---

There are a couple of different places which allow for setting CSS rules, with the differences depending on the scope or breadth of your desired impact. To apply this setting to: - Every project on the Gateway, create your own custom theme files which inherit from the default Perspective theme files and place this rule within the appropriate file. - Just a single project (only available in version 8.1.22 or newer), use the `stylesheet.css` resource available by right-clicking `Styles` in the Project Browser within the Perspective context and selecting `Enable Advanced Stylesheet`. ---

I cannot find where to apply the advanced stylesheet under props. can you help me understand how to get this implemented correctly? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/4/4/44f1606a9b62e77606504f6719949ad31fafc6cf.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/3/9/39d1b36cd5a08dca5ea3b0502ad7ad5e345da00d.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/3/f/3f30e46be228c76b316f6f8fb6e07f8da97a2ef8.png) ---

> [@Travis\_Crooks](#): > > apply the advanced stylesheet The advanced stylesheet is always applied its just a common ccs file. you need knowledge of css to be able to define classes and such... The naming of the class is wrong the prefix is psc- not psc\_ and you as always for css you still have to add the class to the component, ---

This looks like you're trying to set the rule to only apply to certain components which have a Style applied, so that's what my steps will describe. If you want a broader application, the steps will vary. 1. Create a named style within the Style directory. For now, let's assume you name this Style "Selected". You do not need to apply any setting to this class. 2. Set `Landscape in: TextField.props.style.classes` to have a value of "Selected". 3. In the `stylesheet.css` resource, supply the following code: ```CSS .psc-Selected::selection{ background-color: #3352e7e; color: #fff; } ``` ---

Thanks for the help, the steps you outlined along with your code suggestion helped me to get it working in my project.
