Change the color and style of a web form

Version: 8.1

You can change the default color scheme and theme of web forms and MVC forms, for example, if you want your web forms to follow the style of your website. A color scheme sets the colors for each form element, such as the foreground or background color, and themes are a set of visual effects.

CSS classes describe colors and effects for an individual form field. You can change the style directly in the Form Designer using a predefined form field, or create your own custom CSS theme and style.

Note

Changes made to the theme and color of one form apply to all forms.
