CSS styles

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. Styles can be used to define how elements (including controls) on a form are displayed.

For more information on CSS, see w3schools.com.

Note: CSS formatting controls are available in the Classic Forms Designer only.

For more information on controlling the look and feel of your forms in the Responsive Forms Designer, see Properties pane.

Note: Customizing the CSS styles is an advanced feature and should be approached with caution.

The following are the CSS styles that can be defined in the Custom CSS section within the Form and Layout settings when designing a form in Nintex Forms:
