Version 8.1.25.

I am having issues with numeric entry fields not applying style classes when they are not enabled. In this example my style class is applying a background colour, which works when the entry field is enabled but not when it is disabled. Interestingly, if I apply a background colour directly on the disabled entry field rather than using a style class, it seems to work. I don't have this issue with other perspective components (e.g. text field), presumably this is not the intended behaviour?

Hello,

Have you tried adding an element state disabled in your style class and set the background color you want for disabled state in the style class?

Thank you, that seemed to work. Interesting that this only was required for numeric entry and not text field, button etc.
