Hi! I used the set CSS action to set backkground, font color and border. But how can I change the placeholder text color? Its light grey on dark grey and barely readable.

You need to use the ::placeholder selector on your CSS. ~~Unfortunately, you can only do this using a CSS file. I'm not sure Construct 3 can load them.~~

Just discovered that since r158 there is a LoadStylesheet action for the Browser object. So, just add the Browser object to your project, create a CSS stylesheet as project file and load it.

You can download this file and check how it's done.

Hope this helps...

Cheers!

beta r158 added the ability for the browser object to load a css file. I haven't tried it, but that may allow you to do what you want...
