Spinner Text Color

Defining a spinner's text color using either the designer or ModelBox.TextColor causes the text color to be changed, but it also causes the dropdown text colors to be changed.

I have a white background, so I set the spinner text color to black, but now the dropdown's dark gray background (native Android) makes it impossible to see the items available, because they also are now black.

Some googling shows I can define the color for the spinner's TextView, and that will change it for the currently selected but not the dropdown. Alas, Basic4Android doesn't seem to have this available as an option.

How could I go about doing this?

Awesome. And when should I expect that? Just want to know if I should change the app theme to a dark one temporarily for publishing, if the new B4A version won't be out in time.

EDIT: You should also see about making the triangle in the bottom right of the spinner changing with the displayed text color, in case you haven't already.

Thanks Erel!

Alrighty. No big deal, I'll just use a dark UI for now. Users will appreciate the beautiful light UI when I can implement it. Maybe I'll even add it to settings.

I assumed by this conversation that this was already in development.

I have exactly the same issue here and this update would be a godsend.

I have looked at other workarounds and nothing suits what I am after.
