…ndlabs#14913) Early in v4 development we decided to give all form controls a transparent background, but in v3 we only did this for button elements. This PR reverts that decision to make things consistent with v3, as we've noticed this is something that tends to break for people when upgrading from v3 to v4. The default background color of form elements is the [`Field` system color](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/system-color#field) which automatically adapts to light and dark modes if you don't touch it, so it feels reasonable to keep this as the default. Changing it just makes upgrading harder and doesn't really make anything easier for anyone else. --------- Co-authored-by: Adam Wathan <[email protected]>
