New-UDSelect text is missing from the text box

@djmentat Can you share the whole theme? I'm using your snippet but I see this. It makes sense to me because setting the text to white is setting it white in the select portion as well as the drop down.


Setting to black looks like this. Though, I think this is just the default setting.

Hey Adam,

I've sent the full theme file to you via DM.

Thanks for looking into this, and let me know if you need anything else.

BR,
Rob

@djmentat Thanks!


I was able to just comment out the MuiListItemText color all together and it seems to work. It's white in the drop down and black in the Select.

    MuiListItemText = @{
        primary = @{
          fontSize = 14
          fontWeight = 500
			}
		}# MuiListItemText

@djmentat Thanks!

Hey Adam,

I was getting excited. I applied the change, saw the same thing as in your screenshot, and was thinking Yes! However, I found other issues with doing this, and my Yes changed to Nooooo...LOL. The test page I'm using here is a single page app, but all my real apps are multi page apps, which use side navigation. Once I backed out to the real apps I noticed the text in the side nav and the text in the username drop-down that has options for Admin Console, Restart, and Sign Out had all been impacted. All of these, and probably more are using MuiListItemText, so if I change it to black or remove the color, it has widespread impact.

How they look in 5.5.5.

How they look in 2026.1.6, after either changing the MuiListItemText color to black or removing the color.

I started inspecting the browser elements, and I'm pretty sure I figured out the issue. In 5.5.5 the select text value is controlled by MuiSelect. When I define MuiListItemText as white and do not set anything for MuiSelect, we get white everywhere we need it and the select text value stays black (default). To test this in 5.5.5 I set MuiSelect-Select color to Red. The select text value updated to Red and everything that was white stayed white.

What I added to my theme in 5.5.5 to change only the color of the select text value, while having MuiListItemText as white.

    MuiListItemText = @{
        primary = @{
          color = '#ffffff'
          fontSize = 14
          fontWeight = 500
			}
		}# MuiListItemText

    MuiSelect = @{
        select = @{
          color = '#e41414 '
          fontSize = 14
          fontWeight = 500
			}
		}# MuiSelect

When I made this change in 2026.1.6, nothing changed b/c the select text value is now controlled by MuiListItemText instead of MuiSelect.




It seems that 5.5.5, and previous versions since it's been working for 5 years, have the select text value as MuiSelect. The new version of 2026.1.6 changed this and have the select text value sharing MuiListItemText. Since it's now sharing MuiListItemText it's no longer visible when MuiListItemText is set to white and I can't change that color without widespread impact. Seems this may not be something that can be fixed or worked around using Mui overrides?

Thanks,
Rob

@djmentat Thanks for the additional info. I knew it couldn't be that easy ;) I will see if I can figure out what changed between these two versions. I'm unaware of any major framework changes so it's likely a small change to the select control. Either way, I should be able to provide a MUI theme override to achieve what you're looking for.
