here is a screen shot of the stageTextAreaSkin and stageTextInputSkin. <http://apache-flex-development.2333347.n4.nabble.com/file/n38278/text_input.png> my thoughts were too create a style reference to change the border from flat to rectangular and also to keep the background color and background alpha. Here would be the style reference for textinput
TextInput { skinClass: ClassReference("spark.skins.android4.StageTextInputSkin"); contentBackgroundAlpha: 0; contentBackgroundColor: #DEDEDD; contentBackgroundAppearance: "flat"; selectionHighlighting: "never"; focusEnabled:"false"; focusThickness: 0; } and for TextArea TextArea { skinClass: ClassReference("spark.skins.android4.StageTextAreaSkin"); contentBackgroundAlpha: 1; contentBackgroundAppearance: "rectangle"; contentBackgroundColor: #DEDEDD; selectionHighlighting: "never"; focusEnabled:"false"; focusThickness: 0; } let me know what you think. I have a few orientation issues to resolve and then should be good to submit. -- View this message in context: http://apache-flex-development.2333347.n4.nabble.com/Re-IOS-7-and-Android-4-3-Skinning-tp37835p38278.html Sent from the Apache Flex Development mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
