say wha? There's red in a dropdown menu?
Or are you referring to the "RED" colour option on products?

Sorry, I forgot that the selected colour in the dropdown menu (for example in opencart the currency dropdown menu) depends on the system colour sheme of the os.
Normally it is blue on xp, but on my computer it is red. My question is: is it possible to set it to show always a certain colour?
Thanks

Hmm some heavy crack smoking here. All of my dropdowns on default install are white on FF3 and IE7 and Opera

Yes, the background is white but the item under selection is blue. So it is highlighted.

that is os and user preferences dependant.. you would need some very fancy javascript if you were to acheive it.. try looking for a javascript combo box module :)

looks like for changing the text selection color there is some options http://www.quirksmode.org/css/selection.html

Maybe the same applies to dropdown highlighting but it is browser specific and the browser must support selection customizing
