Applying backgroundColor property in a form

Hello, I'm trying to change the background color of a form. It seems simple, but no!! I have tried several methods but none of them work for me, it does not change the background color of the bodys...

    I was able to set the background color by modifying document.body.style.backgroundColor within an onFormPopulated Form Event. When I was attempting to modify just document.body.bgColor it was being overwritten by the default.css. Directly updating the style in the method code seems to have fixed the issue:

Yes, I know that method, what happens is that when the form is opened, depending on the value of the OF (Manufacturing Order) status, it should take on one color or another. That's why I have to do it by code.

I have also tried to do it by code from the CSS of the "Form Body" and it works, but I have never tried to mix CSS with AML, I would have to take the value of the State field and depending on what it has, show one color or another.

That's why I decided to create a method, but I don't know how to take and assign "body.claro" to the variable and use: elementConClaseClara.style.backgroundColor = "red";

Thank you.

Greetings.

    OK, perfect, it works perfectly!!! Thank you so much.

    I have realized that my code also works well, the problem was where I executed it. I did it from a method that was launched through an action. It didn't work well that way.

    If from the Form, we create a "Form event" it works perfectly.

    Thank you so much!!!!.
