For the rules you add to your theme's stylesheet, just get more specific than the ones already in the stylesheet, and your rules will win. Or, as I mentioned previously, you can add the !important declaration to your rule, and your rule will then override them all. You can target nearly everything in your Gravity Form by using this at the beginning of your CSS rule:</p> <pre><code>[css] body .gform_wrapper form YOUR_SELECTOR_HERE {</code></pre> <p>That would make your rules apply only to elements inside the "body .gform_wrapper form".</p> <p>The suggestions David and I made were not intended to have you change you existing body rule; just override the line-height for your Gravity Form, as shown here. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/using-calculations-to-determine-child-support#post-95850 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 17:03:58 +0000 Cara Jeanne 95850@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Changing the line height within the themes css affects other elements that I do not want to change for example the paragraph height on the home page will become too tight at 1.2 whereas 1.2 may be perfect for my form. Is there a way to adjust the line height specifically for my Gravity Form? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/using-calculations-to-determine-child-support#post-92173 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 01:08:11 +0000 Chris Hajer 92173@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Also, be sure you use a unit of measure for your line height.</p> <p>To override any rule in your theme's stylesheet, you can always add the !important declaration to the rule, like this:</p> <pre><code>[css] line-height: 1.2em!important;</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/using-calculations-to-determine-child-support#post-91243 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 22:49:47 +0000 David Peralty 91243@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Looks like you have a rule in <a href="http://www.thecivillawcenter.com/wp-content/uploads/dynamik-gen/theme/dynamik-min.css?ver=1352919657" rel="nofollow">http://www.thecivillawcenter.com/wp-content/uploads/dynamik-gen/theme/dynamik-min.css?ver=1352919657</a></p> <p>body {<br /> line-height: 1.7;<br /> }</p> <p>You would have to override that if you want the line height to be different. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/using-calculations-to-determine-child-support#post-91146 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 15:05:10 +0000 Cara Jeanne 91146@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Awesome - take a look at the form now: <a href="http://www.thecivillawcenter.com/forms/" rel="nofollow">http://www.thecivillawcenter.com/forms/</a><br /> Much better! </p> <p>One more thing - I want to adjust the line height and the css I am putting in doesn't work.</p> <p>Here is what I have now:<br /> <pre><code>[css] body .gform_wrapper .left_label .gfield_label { width: 80%; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; color:#4c4c4c } body .gform_wrapper .left_label .instruction { float: right; padding-right: 10px; }</code></pre> <p>I have tried (placed under font size above):<br /> line-height: normal;<br /> line-height: 1;<br /> line-height: 90%;</p> <p>Thanks for your help! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/using-calculations-to-determine-child-support#post-90394 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 22:08:39 +0000 Chris Hajer 90394@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Try adding this CSS to your theme's stylesheet. I believe your theme has an options page where custom CSS can be added. </p> <pre><code>[css] body .gform_wrapper .left_label .gfield_label { width: 80%; font-size: 14px; } body .gform_wrapper .left_label .instruction { float: right; padding-right: 10px; }</code></pre> <p>That CSS will target the elements. Adjust as desired for your tastes. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/using-calculations-to-determine-child-support#post-90188 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 11:00:19 +0000 Cara Jeanne 90188@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Chris,</p> <p>Here is an example of the label option set at left: <a href="http://www.thecivillawcenter.com/forms/" rel="nofollow">http://www.thecivillawcenter.com/forms/</a><br /> Forget the dollar signs, I would like to focus on styling instead.<br /> In this example:<br /> <a href="http://www.beaumontdivorce.com/metairie/louisiana-child-support-calculator/worksheet-a" rel="nofollow">http://www.beaumontdivorce.com/metairie/louisiana-child-support-calculator/worksheet-a</a><br /> the enter fields will all contain numbers so their size is small and placed at the far right.

With the top label placement, we're going to be much further away than we need to be. Left label placement will get you closer. We should be able to change the size of the div in your theme's stylesheet.</p> <p>I'm not sure what you mean about dollar signs. Where would you want them? </p> <p>And I don't think your forms look horrible. If you'd like help making them look different, please let us know what elements you're unhappy with, on which page, and we'll take a look for you.</p> <p>The resources you linked to have the best information available for styling your Gravity Forms, especially this page <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/resources/cssguide/css_guide.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/resources/cssguide/css_guide.html</a> </p>
