Customizing the Form Button
Want to make your button stand out? Here’s how to tweak its style:
Click the Button Styles dropdown under the Colors tab.
Choose a premade button style, or go fully custom by adjusting:
Padding X – Adjusts the button width.
Padding Y – Adjusts the button height.
Button Color – Changes the button’s color.
Border Radius – Rounds the edges of the button (enter "0" for sharp corners!).
Pro Tip: Play around with the border radius—rounded buttons often look sleeker!
Using an External Stylesheet for Advanced Customization
If you’d like even more control over your form’s appearance, you can add an external CSS stylesheet. Here’s how:
Open the Themes & Styles section from the form’s edit page.
- Navigate to the Layout option.
Scroll to the bottom and locate the External CSS area.
Use the .tieit_form_wrap class in your CSS file to target form elements. Add !important to your styles when necessary to override default styles.
Example:
.tieit_form_wrap input { background-color: #f0f0f0 !important; border-radius: 5px; }
Pro Tip: If your styles aren’t applying, double-check your class names and make sure to use !important where needed!
