You should never edit the Gravity Forms files. If you want to change any style elements you would do so by adding custom CSS to your themes stylesheet to target and style the form element you want to style.</p> <p>Kevin provided a link in a post above to the help guide for targeting and styling form elements. You can find it here:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/CSS_Targeting_Samples" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/CSS_Targeting_Samples</a></p> <p>We do not provide support for customized versions of Gravity Forms where a user has edited the core plugin files. All customizations should be done either via CSS you add to your themes stylesheet, or via the use of hooks and filters when it involves customizing something using PHP. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/change-background-color#post-30354 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 18:32:59 +0000 MarcelFenchel 30354@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Could you please tell me the name of the data-file where I can change the color of the contact form (for example "forms.css" or "form_display.php")?

The section breaks are structured as a node in the same unordered list as the rest of the fields. If you want to wrap fields in actual containing elements be it fieldsets or divs, you will have to make use of the inline HTML fields to add your own markup. It's not really as difficult as it sounds and I've detailed how to do it here.</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/how-can-i-get-the-form-fieldsboxes-side-by-side#post-29423" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/how-can-i-get-the-form-fieldsboxes-side-by-side#post-29423</a></p> <p>After you add your new containers, then you would target them by their unique ID and apply backgrounds or whatever other style properties you would like. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/change-background-color#post-30132 Fri, 15 Jul 2011 15:34:47 +0000 dustinmattison 30132@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Can anyone suggest how I can change the color backgrounds for each section, so it is easier on the eyes to keep track of the sections? <a href="http://3pl-survey.supplychainheros.com/" rel="nofollow">http://3pl-survey.supplychainheros.com/</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/change-background-color#post-29060 Mon, 04 Jul 2011 09:45:15 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 29060@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Where_Do_I_Put_This_Code%3F" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Where_Do_I_Put_This_Code%3F</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/change-background-color#post-29057 Mon, 04 Jul 2011 06:51:27 +0000 MarcelFenchel 29057@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thank you!

Note the _1 in the ID used below - you would replace that with your actual form ID</p> <pre><code>[css] body #gform_wrapper_1 { background-color:yellow }</code></pre> <p>You can more information on targeting form elements for styling manipulation in the documentation here. </p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/CSS_Targeting_Samples" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/CSS_Targeting_Samples</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/change-background-color#post-28890 Thu, 30 Jun 2011 12:04:48 +0000 MarcelFenchel 28890@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Is it possible to give the contact form a background color?</p> <p>Thanks for your help! </p>
