Let's say you want to change the background color of your forms/flows workflows so they will blend in nicely with your existing website.

provides four layouts that can be applied to forms/flowsworkflows. New projects default to Nouveau and forms/flows workflows created in a project will inherit the Nouveau layout. New layouts can only be added by frevvo. The Layout dropdown on the Form Properties Style tab displays the choices:
- Nouveau - takes advantage of newer browsers supporting modern CSS and is extremely well-suited to forms/flows workflows running on mobile devices.
- Compact - This is very similar to the Nouveau layout except for the reduction of vertical space between controls.
- Tight - Vertical and horizontal space is dramatically reduced - - controls will be positioned up against each other.
- Nouveau Square - this layout is the Nouveau layout with square corners for controls.

Styles are used to select a particular look & feel for your project, forms or flowsworkflows. The Style feature is primarily concerned with colors (background and font colors) but there is also the opportunity to specify other properties such as the font name, etc.
...
The Styles tab is divided into two sections: My Styles and Tenant Styles. Global Styles are not listed here. Styles created/modified/uploaded by the designer user will be listed in the My Styles section. Styles created/modified/uploaded by the initial tenant admin will show in the Tenant Styles section. Styles created/uploaded by additional admins in a tenant will not display here.
Styles are not included in the zipfile when you download a form, flow workflow or project. Styles must be manually moved from your test/development server to your production environment. You do this by selecting Download from the menu for each style you want to move from your test/development server and then selecting Upload from the Add menu in the styles tab on your production server. Remember to upload the style at the same level on your production server as you had on your test/development server.
...
The four Global Styles are: Blue, Neutral, Green, Aqua. You can use them for your forms, flows workflows and spaces but you cannot download or modify them in any way.

If you click on the Submit button in a form that contains invalid data or required fields that are empty, the invalid fields will be highlighted with an orange background color. You can change the background color by changing the value of the Submit Error Highlight property in the style then applying the modified style to your form/flowworkflow. Follow these steps:
- Create a Style
- Specify the hex value for the color that you want in the Submit Error Highlight field. Save the modified Style.
- Edit your form/flowworkflow. Click on the toolbar then the Style tab in the form/flow workflow property panel on the left. Apply the Style to your form/flow workflow by selecting it from the Style dropdown.
- Save your form/flowworkflow.

Styles can be selected at the project, form, flow workflow and space levels. If no style is selected, the default global style Blue is used. If no style is set for a form/flowworkflow, it will inherit the style selected for the project. If a form/flow workflow is embedded in a space, the space style will take over even for forms/flows workflows where you selected a specific style.

This will apply the selected layout and style to all forms and flows workflows in that project where the designer has left the form/flow workflow layout and style unselected. If the designer selected a specific layout and style for any given form or flowworkflow, that selection will take precedence over the project's selection.
To select a specific layout or style for any given form or flowworkflow, edit the form or flowworkflow. Click the toolbar at the top of the form to access the form properties on the left side of the Forms Designer. Click the Style tab, and pick your layout and style from the respective dropdown lists. These form/flow workflow designer style properties will override your selected style's properties. For example if your style sets labels to blue you can override this for a particular control to yellow using the control's style property.

Styles can be selected dynamically via the form or space using the URL parameter _styleId. This parameter take precedence over a style selected at the project or form level. Append _styleId=<style name> to the share link of your form/flow workflow or space. The share URL shown appends the _styleId parameter equal to a style named Orange that was created by the designer.
