upload text boxes refuse to co-operate ?

[Gargoyle]

I don't know if this is in the right place. If not feel free to move it.

This is my issue.
SMF 1.1.10
Upload text boxes or fields as you may... They do not change color like all of the other text based input boxes. I have a few custom themes and on each of them the "upload" or "upload file field" text boxes remain standard white background.

This is an issue on the darker themes that use light text as the uploaded file appears to not go into the box so people think the function is broken.

Question is... how do I get that background to change like it does on all the other boxes ?

Thanks!

It's very difficult to do because most browsers don't support changing its style.

http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/inputfile.html has some ideas however.

Ideally I probably should move this to Scripting Help; it's not a problem specific to SMF but to anyone trying to style upload boxes.
