No, they're white. I want to use a photo as a background to the input fields.

Thanks, but that didn't work.
To clarify: I'm refering to the textinput and textarea components.

_global.styles.TextInput.setStyle("backgroundColor", 0); //for entire document

myInput.backgroundColor = 0;//for individual instance of text input component

Amy, many thanks.

The transparency was achieved when I added a full hex number. 0=black background with white border. Is there a way to add coloured bkgs with alpha and also change the border?

Sorry, my bad... while I was testing I had a black background and it didn't
occur to me that it was the same color. DERRR!

Anyway, try this one:
_global.styles.TextInput.backgroundColor = undefined;

I can't seem to get one instance to change. I'll keep at it and let you know
if I find anything.
