Width Width
Most controls have a width property. For input controls, the property specifies the width of the area in which users enter data; for example, you might narrow a control used for entering zip codes or widen a control for a full first, middle, and last name. A common example is setting a text control's width to 90% for street addresses when you use the text control inside a panel as part of a two-column layout. (When a control is inside a panel or other grouping control, the width percentage is relative to the grouping control. When a control is not inside a grouping control, the width percentage is relative to the entire form.)
...
You also can type specify different margin or padding on the various sides of the control: for example, a 5px 10px 15px 20px margin property will give your control a five-pixel top margin, a ten-pixel right margin, a 15-pixel bottom margin and a 20-pixel left margin.
Background Color Color
This lets you specify the color that will appear behind the control. Type any valid CSS color name or its hexadecimal RGB equivalent. For example, if you want a red background, you can type the word RED or #aa2211.
Border Width, Border Style and Border Color Color
These properties let you specify the thickness, format and color of a border around any control. With the exception of sections and repeats, the border is applied only to the area where the user enters data and does not surround the control’s label.
...
Remember to make the border color property different from the form’s background color or users will not be able to see the borders. Specify the color using the standard CSS convention of typing the name of the color or its hexadecimal equivalent. When specifying the border width property, using pixels (5px, for example) works best.
Label Color and Label Size Size
These properties give you an easy way to change the font size and color for any specific control on the form. Specify the color by typing any valid CSS color name or its hexadecimal equivalent.
These properties work well when you want your entire label to have the same size and color, but for more sophisticated labels you can type XHMTL in the control’s label property field. For instance, use XHMTL if you want to apply two different font colors inside the same label. Typing XMHTL also gives you more font precision, since the label size property lets you pick generic font sizes only--small, medium, and so on. There may be controls for which you want a font size somewhere between the small and medium options in the dropdown, for example.
