    John, I saw the link you posted and that's way over my expertise. In the skp file I uploaded the DC components values were blacked out all but the ones from Google any reason why? The components from Sketchdata and Kraftmaid still had some options that however were still accesable ๐Ÿ˜‰

      Just in case I wasn't clear in the previous post, you only need to make the additions/changes in red.

      Here's some background on the issue on StackOverflow:

        I found the same problem last week. The source of the problem is the Safari update that Apple pushed out last week (5.1.7). Here's a work-around for dynamic components: make the following edits in red to the manager.css and configurator.css files. (located in Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Tools/Dynamic Components/css)

        In Manager.css:

        .edit-field {
        position: absolute;
        border-top: 2px solid #3063C9;
        border-left: 2px solid #3063C9;
        border-right: 2px solid #A5C4FF;
        border-bottom: 2px solid #A5C4FF;
        background-color: white; font-size: 12px;
        font-family: sans-serif;
        width: 100%;
        height: 100%;
        overflow: hidden;
        padding-left: 2px;
        padding-top: 1px;
        border: 1px solid #000000;
        }

        In Configurator.css:

        .config-field {
        width: 100%;
        font-size: 11px;
        font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;
        height: 22px;
        background-color: white;
        border: 1px solid #000000;
        }

        .config-field-readonly {
        width: 100%;
        font-size: 11px;
        font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;
        height: 22px;
        background-color: threedface;
        border: 1px solid #000000;
        }

            Why not? Open it in a plain text editor (not a word processor) and you can simply copy/paste those lines then save.

                Clear your browser cache (or temporary internet files directory.)

                I'm not here much anymore.

                    Well by the subject you can tell my problem. It seems to be native to my computer. Mac OSX 10.7 using SU 8 Pro the same DC comp. on my WIN laptop are correctly displayed. The peculiar thing is the DC comp. from Google are able to change dim.

                    that's odd.. (i'm seeing the same behavior..)

                    the items are still editable, it's just that the black is the same color as the text so you can see it.. if you triple click an entry, the field will highlight in blue so you can see it.. (when blue, push delete then enter your new numbers ..albeit blindly)

                    heres a shot after focusing the component options dialog then selectAll-- ๐Ÿ˜• ๐Ÿ˜•

                      Your image shows a website (that is loaded from the internet and can't use these css hacks). Does it at least work for components options?

                      Can you check again that all the css properties are separated with a semi-colon? I think you forgot one in %(#000000)[.config_field].

                      Another idea, would a WebView also accept a user stylesheet (that would override the default background in all websites+webdialogs in SketchUp)?

                        I saw that and thanks for pointing that out but still seeing black fields. Jeff's solution did allow me to change width dimension ultimately. I don't think this a SU thing however I believe it was an update to the Safai browser for Macs after the Flashback incident. From what I've read it not only effected SU but other programs that use webdialog boxes on Mac. Emptying the cache hasn't proved to be useful either.

                            Move "font-size: 12px;" down to its own line. I had that on the same line as background-color and that's an error on my part.

                            If that doesn't do the trick, the only difference might be the OS X version. I'm still on 10.6 and I don't have a way to test 10.7.

                            Just to be clear: this fix is only for dynamic components. It will not fix the 3D Warehouse search box or any other affected software on the mac.

                                  I've installed an older version of safari with pacifist and now it works again.

                                      Hi All,

                                      The fix Peter provided worked for the fields in my DC options window. But when I open my custom attributes window and look at the "Display Label" it is black as well. I couldn't find the style in the css style sheet that changed this input field. Does anyone know the style I need to change.

                                      Custom Attributes

                                      (On OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, Sketchup 8.0.14345 Pro)

                                      Regards,
                                      Christian

                                          fwiw, i did the DC fix a while ago and yes, it works but as mentioned in this thread, it only works with the DC dialog.. skindigo was also exhibiting this blacked out behavior so i eventually downgraded safari using the method mentioned by Juantxo a few posts back.. pacifist with an older version of safari..

                                          and that fixes everything in sketchup instead of just the DC dialog.
