When Maximo 7.6 came out, the yellow background color on required fields was, unfortunately for many users, abandoned. Luckily changing this back is actually a pretty simple task.
First, determine what skin you are using. The skin name can be found in the following system property: mxe.webclient.skin.
In this example our skin name is tivoli13, therefore our css file would reside in: <MAXIMO_ROOT>\applications\maximo\maximouiweb\webmodule\webclient\skins\<Skin Name>\css
Now you are ready to take some action. Navigate to the following directory:
<MAXIMO_ROOT>\applications\maximo\maximouiweb\webmodule\webclient\skins\tivoli13\css
In this directory you will find the maximo.css file. Open it with a text editor and find the following text:
