#

tawny lava

The background seems updated here to black ?

#

You mean the outside container ?

tawny lava Dec 11, 2025, 8:46 AM

#

I mean the container is not taking the background color of the actual background

real wren Dec 11, 2025, 8:47 AM

#

Wihch container, can you circle it please ?

#

Also can you please copy/past you full æppearance object here ?

tawny lava Dec 11, 2025, 8:49 AM

I've tried even turning the background red, but it still stays black for some reason

#

real wren Dec 11, 2025, 8:57 AM

#

So you want to change the balck background to the dark blue color ?

tawny lava Dec 11, 2025, 8:57 AM

#

yep, that's right

#

but as I understand it's controlled by StripeElement which is sitting behind a protected iframe

real wren Dec 11, 2025, 8:58 AM

#

That color is applied to your div on which you mounted the PaymentElement

#

Check this

#

I tried your exact appearance object

#

The background you are referring to it for the div you use to mount the PaymentElement

tawny lava Dec 11, 2025, 9:03 AM

#

oh okay gimme a sec lemme try

tawny lava Dec 11, 2025, 9:22 AM

#

still no luck, sorry for the slow vid btw

#

👋 Hi there! I'm taking over for my colleague. Let me take a look

#

What styles are shown on the stripe-payment-element-wrapper div after the Payment Element loads?

tawny lava Dec 11, 2025, 9:43 AM

#

Hi, on it

flat meteor Dec 11, 2025, 9:43 AM

#

The same as @real wren, I also see that the Payment Element is transparent, and shows the background colour of the div where it's mounted

tawny lava Dec 11, 2025, 9:43 AM

#

#

btw thanks for joining @flat meteor

real wren Dec 11, 2025, 9:48 AM

#

For some reasons it seems like your page body's background is beeing picked here. Can you add !important to the background-color of the element div or use just background ?

flat meteor Dec 11, 2025, 9:55 AM

#

I see that it's also happening around the Stripe developer UI at the bottom-right

#

Do you have some sort of dark mode setup? I see the use of color-scheme: light dark

tawny lava Dec 11, 2025, 10:00 AM

#

oh okay

#

you are right

#

that's what caused it

#

but it's weird though, because the background of the input fields were changing

#

I think Stripe must have a better way of handling this

#

only the container was not properly being affected, why would that be?
