    I'm lost with the dropdown field in the uibuilder.
    Seems there is no way to change the whole color of this element which makes it absolutely senseless.
    Only the color of the labelpart changes but the itempart always stays in ugly gray.

    I saw some hint regarding panels and uss styling attempts. But I have not idea where I can access this uss file for the item-part of the dropdown field.
    Also nowhere is a concrete tutorial how this must be done.

    Somebody has a hint for me?


    Besides,

    Hi! To be above everything else in the panel, the dropdown is the last element of the panel, at the root. And stylesheet added to an element only applies to the descendant of the element. If you add a stylesheet with your dropdown styles on the root visual element of the panel, it will work. Use the UI debugger to inspect the hierarchy and verify that they are applied. There are probably some other post on the forums on this, as you are not the only one with this ... surprise.

    Thanks for the hint. I'm still trying, but this dropdown box is not reacting on any kind of stylesheet.
    All this tutorials I followed seem to be straight forward, but it's all not working.
    Someone has a working example?
