Working with Theme Editor State Override

You can override the associated colors in the Color Palette for any element to which override colors can be applied.

Note: You cannot add or delete State Override swatches.

State Override is displayed for forms only.

The colors in the Color Palette that are associated to elements in your theme are overridden by the colors you configure in a State Override swatch when the element changes state.

Each State Override swatch contains three colors that are applied to an element's text, border and background.

There are five permanent color swatches in the State Override section, these are:

Required for Save: Applies to any element in your form that must contain content (such as text) or requires an action to enable save.
Disabled: Applies to specific elements on your form that are disabled, such as a drop-down list or control text.
Disabled Button: Applies to form buttons that are disabled.
Disabled Link: Applies to link labels that are disabled.
Read-Only: Applies to text content that is (or is changed to) read-only.
