    Hei,

    I am wondering if it is possible to change the background in the question box in Jotform Cards, for example like this one:

    https://form.jotform.com/220184398162053

    Trying Form Designer > Color > Custom I can only find background colours for pages and font colours but nothing for the question box.

    Hi, thank you for contacting support.

    Do you mean to change the color of this highlighted area?

    If so, you cannot change the color of that using CSS since it is in a Card Layout. We can only insert CSS codes in a Classic Form.

    In case you want to change the color of the highlighted area, I would suggest choosing a different theme that matches your requirement. See the image attached:

    Please give it a try and let us know if you need further assistance.

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    Thank you, the area highlighted in read is exactly what I am trying to change the color.

    Unfortunately even if I pick different themes the background with the question and answers remains in white. Am I correct to assume it is impossible to change it to any other color/background photo?

    I am trying to have something like this:

    So the part of the screen with question is very close color like the background.

    Hi,

    I'm afraid that it is not possible to fully customize the background color based on your preference. The design of card forms is very fixed as it is intended to be more of a straightforward easy-to-use form.  If you wish to add custom CSS code to change the background color, we can change the form layout to the classic layout.

    Here is the guide: How-to-Change-the-Form-Layout

    Let us know if you would like to proceed to the Classic Form layout so we could further assist you with the CSS codes.

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    It's a shame there is no extra customization of the Cards forms, especially as it is possible to change the page background color, font and font color.

    This feels like a missing option that should be there. Maybe it could be a proposal for developers?

    Thank you, that is all from my side.

    Thank you for following up.


    I understand your frustration. I have escalated your request to our developers to have an option to inject custom CSS in the Cards layout. However, we can’t give you an ETA on it, as it depends on their workload. We will inform you on this thread if they have any updates.


    Should you have any other concerns, kindly let us know.
