Still surprised (and disappointed) how limited the styling options for native form fields are in CSS. Select fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, sliders and calendar inputs should be just as easily stylable as plain old text boxes and buttons.
The fact they're not is probably hurting accessibility and usability a ton, since just about every individual and business wanting stylistic consistency is stuck reinventing the wheel with 'fake' versions or JavaScript.
- rhn_mk1 4y agoAs an individual wanting stylistic consistency, I'd like for websites to leave my locally selected style the hell alone.

- mhuffman 4y agoBut alas, highly paid graphic designers that are hired by executives do not like your locally selected style and insist that it does not fit with their "corporate branding".
- marcosdumay 4y agoSince CSS has explicit support for your use case, then I assume you want CSS to add support for styling native widgets. Or are you trying to keep the status quo, where people hack some shit out of divs that you can't change the appearance?
- rhn_mk1 4y agoIf it was up to me, I'd add the ability for the browser to ignore all styling of form elements which doesn't come from the native widgets.
- marcosdumay 4y agoYou mean greasemonkey? I believe firefox got this natively after greasemonkey died, but I never looked how to do it.
