Hello all

When designing a form the place holder looks fine but in my site its way to dark - can't really read it. Can I change this?

Thanks in advance

My apologies the posted form the place holders are to light to read

I see in form properties Font section - but that seems to have no effect on the posted place holders

Thanks

Go to the element settings set the font size a bit bigger choose bold and colour black

If you still struggling send me the form and I will take a look and make a video for you
