Hi

I've seen other posts where I've found info to change background colour, but I want to extend the colour so it covers the form title and has a bit of a margin on the left side like it does the right. See the link: http://www.hanburymortgages.co.uk/temp/remortgaging/

This is what I've added to my theme style sheet:
```
[css]
body #gform_wrapper_2 {
    position: relative;
	background-color:#CCC;
}
```
Am I adding the correct CSS?

If it is going to bee too complicated then I may not bother but just wanted to lift the form off the page a bit.

Thanks in advance.

Looks like you were headed in the right direction. You just need to add some padding values ( not margins ) to the form wrapper to make it look the way you want.
```
[css]
body #gform_wrapper_2 {
    background-color: #CCC;
    position: relative;
    padding: 20px 0 20px 20px
}
```

Since you've absolutely positioned your submit button, you'll need to adjust that too to allow for the extra form padding.

Excellent, thanks.

Also, I've added a form into a sidebar widget, and have an issue with lines appearing under the boxes. Guessing this has something to do with the theme stylesheet?

See: http://www.hanburymortgages.co.uk/temp/buying-a-home/ and scroll to the bottom.

Any ideas? thanks.

yep, it's inheriting the border from this list item rule on line 718 of your style.css file..
```
[css]
.box ul li {
    border-bottom: 1px solid #E4E4E4;
    float: left;
    width: 100%;
}
```
you'll need to override the border property for your forms.
```
[css]
.box .gform_wrapper ul li {
	border-bottom: none
}
```
