Changing colors of text in text-boxes

    Asked on May 10, 2020 at 10:35 PM

    The only way I was able to find to change the color of input text from white to black was by adding this css:

    .form-textbox{
        color: #13124C;
    }

    I just can't believe that there wouldn't be such a basic setting for input text color, not even in the advanced css editor.

    I must be missing it somewhere. Can someone tell me where this setting is?

    Thank you

    It is possible to change it in the Advanced Designer.

    Example:

    You can do the same for your form in the Advanced Designer https://www.jotform.com/build/201142480419447/design.

    If you have already injected custom CSS codes in your form for the text box font color, changes in the style panel may not work. Get rid of the CSS first to get it to work.

    I don't have TEXTBOX STYLES in my advanced designer.

    You have to click a textbox field in your form first to reveal its style panel as shown in my example.

    So I would have to remember each time I create a textbox to go into the advanced settings and manually set the text color for each one? That doesn't make sense. I'd rather keep the global color setting for all text boxes. Almost every other aspect of a form has global settings. why wouldn't textbox text have one?

    It is actually a global setting. When you change the style of one of textbox fields in your form in the Advanced Designer, it would be applied to all the textbox fields in your form. Please try it and let us know how it goes. Thanks
