Issue/Introduction
This article highlights an issue which occurs when configuring the 'Selected item' color and 'Selected item background' color, as these settings fail to display correctly for Level 3 items. Meanwhile, the 'Item hover background' color remains unaffected.
To reproduce the issue:
Login to the VCD Provider portal.
Go to More > Customize Portal.
Navigate to the Themes tab and select a theme
Under the Colors tab, modify the 'selected item' color and 'selected item background' color.
For example, in Screenshot-1, the 'Selected item' color and 'Selected item background' color are set as desired. However, as shown in Screenshot-2, the CSS responsible for these changes behaves inconsistently when applied to Level 3 list items and works correctly for Level 1 and Level 2.

Environment
VMware Cloud Director 10.6.0
VMware Cloud Director 10.6.0.1
Cause
This is identified as a cosmetic bug in VMware Cloud Director 10.6.0 and 10.6.0.1.
Resolution
There is no workaround for this issue as of now and it is planned to be addressed in the upcoming VCD 10.6.1 release.
The fix will ensure that the selected item color and selected item background color apply uniformly across all list levels including Level 3.
