- When you drag a panel from the palette and drop it on the canvas, the default width is 6 grid columns. Panels can be made as wide as 12 columns. Each panel is itself divided into 12 columns irrespective of its width.
- Panels do not take up visible use mode space i.e. a 6 column control outside a panel and a 12-column control inside a 6-column panel take up exactly the same width. You can edit the Width property of controls you drag inside these controls.
- There is no Width property for sections or tables controls - they are always 12 columns wide. Each is itself divided into 12 columns. They are all exactly as wide as a regular 12 column control. An N-column control that is inside one of these will appear narrower than the corresponding N-column control outside.
- Repeats are also always 12 columns wide and each repeat is itself divided into 12 columns. Like panels, they take up no visible use mode space: a 12-column control outside a repeat and a 12-column control inside a repeat are exactly the same width.
- The total visible width of a date/time control with N columns is the same as the total visible width of any other control with N columns. The relative widths are constant so the space between the two reduces as the total number of columns reduces.
- For tab controls, you access the width property by clicking the unlabeled area to the right of the last tab in your tab group; the width you specify will be applied uniformly to each tab in group. (See Panels and Tabs for more details.) When setting a control’s width property you may use standard CSS-relative values; for example, 5%, 5em, 5ex or 5px.
Width is a crucial property when designing mulit-column forms. makes this very easy to do. Refer to this documentation for some tips about the drag and drop feature when designing multi-column forms.

These properties are controlled by the Styles that you apply to your form. However, you can 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 in the Label Color field.
