 * Hi,
 * We’ve been testing out the forminator plugin on our new website and all seems
   excellent so far, the only issue we’re having is the background of the dropdown
   box is transparent and we cannot find a way to change this?
 * Is there a simple way to change this from transparent to solid white?
 * Thanks,
    Craig

 * Hi [@darrenb19](https://wordpress.org/support/users/darrenb19/)
 * I hope you are doing good today.
 * This looks like some sort of conflict here. By default, the dropdown background
   is gray without any setup. Could you manually set up backgrounds:
    edit your 
   form and navigate to Appearance -> Colors, switch to Custom.
 * Later on, set up:
    Select -> Background color Dropdown List -> Container BG and
   see if that helps.
 * Kind Regards,
    Kris

 * Hi Kris,
 * Hmm, yeah it seems like something must be overriding this as the background is
   still transparent after making the changes above
 * When I change the Design Style to None the dropdown background is solid white,
   but any other design styles it becomes transparent?
 * Thanks,
    Craig

 * Hi [@darrenb19](https://wordpress.org/support/users/darrenb19/)
 * Please try with this CSS added to the site via “Appearance -> Customize -> Additional
   CSS” option:
 *     ```
       .forminator-select-dropdown {
       	background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 1)!important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Note: it’s important to add it this way instead of custom CSS of the form directly
   in form settings.
 * Make also sure to clear all cache on site after adding the code and I believe
   it should fix it.
 * The issue itself is caused by the CSS coming from theme that causes these backgrounds
   to be transparent so the CSS that I shared “forcefully overrides” that (for Forminator
   forms only)
 * Best regards,
    Adam

 * Many Thanks,
