Here is what I would like to do. I have several forms that I am going to use on my website. However when someone types in their data in one of the fields on the forms you can barely read it. I would like to make it darker, maybe a different color, and possibly larger. How can this be done? I love the forms program. I should have bought it earlier!!

Thanks!

In your form folder look in the theme/default/css/default.css.
Now look for

/* Rule for the input-boxes */
#docContainer .fb-input-box input {color: rgb(69,69,69);
font: normal 12px Helvetica, Arial, Sans-serif;
border: 1px solid rgb(220,223,231);
border-top-color: rgb(170,173,178);
-webkit-border-radius: 3px;
-moz-border-radius: 3px;
border-radius: 3px;

}


Adjust to your liking.:)


I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Here's what I see for your linking form.

/* Rule for the input-boxes */
#docContainer .fb-input-box input {color: rgb(69,69,69);
font: normal 12px Helvetica, Arial, Sans-serif;
border: 1px solid rgb(220,223,231);
border-top-color: rgb(170,173,178);
-webkit-border-radius: 3px;
-moz-border-radius: 3px;
border-radius: 3px;}

It's still 12px for font.;)
Make sure you are editing the default.css and if you make changes to your form and reexport you'll have to do it again if you overwrite the default.css. You should be able to keep a copy of the one you alter in a directory for safe keeping then copy it to the form folder any time you reexport the form so you don't have to keep getting into it and making the same changes.

Still not doing it. I have made sure the css file has been changed to 14px. If you take a look at it and try to fill in any of the information it is very hard to read so I think you can see me dilemma. I would like it to be 14px, readable, bold, and black. But not happening on my end. help!!! lol Also does changing that particular part of the stylesheet make it blanket for every input box? For example I designated one of them to be a phone number.
