Kendo ui picker css issue

Question

I am using kendo ui dropdown list and some other pickers. I want to style the selected item background color.

I had tried .k-dropdown .k-state-selected{ background-color

Answer 1

The following CSS should work for date(time)picker and the dropdownlist:

.k-widget .k-state-selected,
.k-list .k-state-selected
{ 
  background: red;
}
