+3We are currently using IFS Apps 9. After updating one of our users' laptops to Windows 11 Pro, we noticed that the text boxes in IFS Apps have changed. The borders are now grey and underlined, instead of the traditional black outline they had previously in windows 10.
Windows 11:
Windows 10
Is there a way to revert this change and restore the original appearance of the text boxes in Windows 11?
Thanks in advance!

From a quick web search, I found that there are ways to make Windows 11 look and feel more like Windows 10, but unfortunately I didn’t see anything related to text fields. If your users are really finding the transition to Windows 11 difficult and you absolutely need to give them the old appearance, I suggest looking at whether you can control text field appearance (especially text field borders) on the OS level. This is however likely to be a Windows Registry setting, so there’s a risk and deployability consideration there.
