I am also needing to change the ugly red borders. My employers are really disappointed at the way Reader 9 displays mandatory/required fields. They simply do not like the look and feel. In LiveCycle 8.2, the program uses two red borders, one around the entire field (caption & entry) and one around the entry area.
Now we need certain fields on the form to be required, but we don't want these ugly borders. How can I change them? Or maybe Adobe needs to change the way they present a required field? The way it is now, simply will not do...and they are considering making me change this form again (which already took me weeks as complicated as it is with all the scripting)...doesn't seem quite fair to the developer if we can change many things, why can't we change this too?
TEMPORARILY, when a user exits a required field and it has a value, the mandatory setting is disabled, removing some of the red. But when the user initially loads the form, it's plastered in RED. I want the field to be required, but looking like this pushes away our customers costing our company business.
