Picker Styling for Dark Mode

[Tim Southard]

When Darkmode is on, I can alter the style of every element except the picker.  I've tried creating custom renderers with no luck.  Does anyone have an idea of what can be done to change the text color of the selected item in a picker?  The picker text shows white on a black background, but the selected item is black and I can't change it.

Hi Tim Southard, 

 

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.  

 

We have checked your requirement of “Picker styling for Dark Mode” we regret that as of now DataForm doesn’t have support to customize picker item text color, but DataForm allows you to create a custom picker editor using DataFormEditor class. Using which create a new editor with required customizations.  

 

Please refer our following KB document to know more about creating custom picker editor,

Thank you! Is this something that will automatically work or something that needs setup in code?  If you could give a little more information on how to ensure the picker color can be adjusted for both light and dark mode I would appreciate it!
