Can I change the way that the form formats any "REQUIRED" answers that aren't filled in?

    Hello,

    I have a pretty dark design theme to my form so I have all of the text set to be bright yellow to contrast with the dark background. When I require a question, they user must answer the question to continue. When a required question is selected and then unselected without an answer input, the form automatically formats the background of the question to be white, making the yellow text illegible. Is there any way to change this color to dark red or make it do something else like a highlight or an outline?

    You can get this changed from the "Advanced Designer" tab in the Form Designer.

    Thank you! Unfortunately, the advance designer reformatted my form in a way that I did not want. In trying to revert to an earlier backup, I’ve received numerous error messages. What do you make of this?
    Thanks,
