Hi Priyadarshini,

You can sometimes override the styles by specifying others with the same name in your page, but this would be very fragile as if Salesforce change their styling it would suddenly break.

When I've needed to style the multi-select picklist, I've created my own Visualforce component to provide this functionality. That way I have full control over all aspects of it.

The Visualforce developer's guide has a great example of a multi-select picklist type element, at the bottom of the following section: Please let us know if this helps.

Mark this as solved if it's resolved so that it gets removed from the unanswered queue which results in helping others who are encountering a similar issue.

Thanks,
Nagendra

Hi Nagendra,

It is one MSP field in Opportunity Standard Layout. I dont think they would allow to create a VF page just for 1 field. Could you please let me know how I can override the styles of Standard salesforce. 
Also this issue is only in Classic Salesforce, in Salesforce lightning it is fine.

Thanks for your response!

Thanks
Priya
