FieldHintStyle
is an option for InputField that specifies the style to use for displaying the field hint.
Details
- An option setting FieldHintStyle->spec in an InputField specifies that the field hint of the InputField should be displayed as Style[contents,spec].
- Any style specification used in Style can be used as a setting for FieldHintStyle.
- Typical forms of settings include:
-
"style" a named style from the current stylesheets {opt1->val1,…} a list of explicit option settings {"style",opt1->val1,…} a named style modified by option settings - Color directives such as Red, as well as text specifications such as Bold or Small, can be given in place of options, just as in Style.
- Any outside styles not explicitly overridden by settings in FieldHintStyle will still be used.
- FieldHintStyle is effectively applied after DefaultFieldHintStyle.
- Style specifications given in FieldHintStyle are typically added to default specifications given in the current stylesheet.
- For an object of type obj, the default style specifications are typically those associated with a style named "obj".

FieldSize will use the larger of FieldHintStyle and BaseStyle to calculate its size:
In some cases, it can make the hint look too small, or in some cases make the text look too small:
Possible Issues (1)
The default stylesheet applies transparency to all field hints even if you change the color:
To override the transparency setting, specify Opacity:
