I can help guide you with writing some of the CSS selectors to use - but what you are looking for here sounds like you need to hire a designer when it comes to how you want it to look. You are welcome to post on our job board:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/forum/job-board" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/forum/job-board</a></p> <p>You can use this snippet and it will change the field labels for this form in particular:</p> <pre><code>[css] #gform_wrapper_1 .gfield_label { font-size: 16px; color: #fff; }</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/getting-started-tutorial#post-76328 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:55:26 +0000 jesser981 76328@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hooray! I found where the CSS goes and I put it in. . . BEAUTIFUL! </p> <p>Can I make the text larger?<br /> I've also seen people with fancy arrows and stuff that point to their boxes, does gravity forms have that?<br /> I didn't play with the padding - is that the space the box takes up? </p> <p>Can I get a widget gravity form? </p> <p>Thank you!! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/getting-started-tutorial#post-76316 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 12:05:45 +0000 jesser981 76316@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm sorry. . . I am so new at this stuff, and I appreciate you taking the time to walk me through. . . that said, "where ever your theme instructs you to place CSS" ??? Where do I look for where it would instruct me to do that? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/getting-started-tutorial#post-76308 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 11:34:52 +0000 Rob Harrell 76308@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>So let's take this piece by piece. First this CSS snippet (which you place into your theme's stylesheet or wherever your theme instructs you to place CSS):</p> <pre><code>[css] #gform_wrapper_1 { background-color: #cccccc; -webkit-border-radius: 10px; -moz-border-radius: 10px; border-radius: 10px; padding: 10px; }</code></pre> <p>The hex code in the background color - you would set that to be the blue you mentioned. The border radius you can change the 10px value to whatever you'd like, same goes for the padding. Also this snippet is set to only target the form with the ID of 1 (since you may not want ALL of your Gravity Forms to look like this).</p> <p>Drop that in and let me know what's next.

That way you don't have to mess with your live pages. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/getting-started-tutorial#post-76297 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 10:14:42 +0000 jesser981 76297@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I had to pull it because when someone went to enter their email (even just put the mouse on it) a picture from my website popped up.

I'd like the box to be blue (I have the exact blue if you can do it). And I'd like the name and email labels to appear outside the box to enter them in. </p> <p>I'd like this box to be an embeddable form and then also have a smaller one I can use as a widget. </p> <p>Does that make sense? </p>
