Hello,

This is definitely unsupported but worked for me:

parent.$("[data-for-id='<put your field schema name>_label']:first-child").css("color", "red"); parent.$("#<put your field schema name>_i").css("color", "red");

For name field script is following:

parent.$("[data-for-id='name_label']:first-child").css("color", "red"); parent.$("#name_i").css("color", "red");

Hi Aimy ,

There is no supported way you can change text field color , if you go for unsupported way make sure this may not work in future release . So think twice before use unsupported code. I would suggest to build custom HTML for that if the form view read only then. I am saying as because let say you have change text field value color in the update form then if you type any value in the text box again the color will change to black .

Hi,

"Theme" in CRM can be used to change Color scheme. Please follow below links:

As Preeti says the Dynamics themes functionality allows you to customise part of the system's look and feel including the background of the current active control. What it does not offer is control of the background colour of all the attributes on the form.

I really wouldn't recommend doing anything unsupported at the moment as 9.0's web refresh interface is only temporary and is very different from the unified interface which you can already see if you choose one of the apps (not the default app) in the Dynamics 365 menu...

Longer term the custom control framework will allow you to customise most controls in any way you want to do so. So my advice would be to wait until the next release and start learning a bit about React...

Hi Amiy,

You can use the unsupported customization as shown below.

window.parent.document.getElementById("textFieldLogicalName").style.color='red'

Hope this helps.
