Styling a form field with Style Selector

Field Styling

Gravity Forms Styles Pro comes with a GUI based Style Selector for fields, which you can use to easily create a form layout. All built-in Gravity Forms fields are supported.

Styles Selector can be found under Appearance when editing a field.

Using Styles Pro: Style Selector

Styling the choices of your Checkbox or Radio fields with images and icons

In the Style Selector, you will find several options. Some options are stand-alone, others can be used in combination. For example, image effects are available for all options that use one of the image styles. Some style options can be further customized using the Style Effects options that show up at the very bottom of the fold if ti is compatible with your style. You may want to add a hover outline, or remove style padding entirely for some of the styles, for example.

Style Selector has been designed to be intuitive to use. Usually hovering over an option should be enough to understand it. Please refer to the video for more information.

The following styling options can be chosen for each field.

  • 1 column
  • 2 columns
  • 3 columns
  • 4 columns
  • 5 columns
  • 6 columns
  • Automatic (options will adjust based on their widths without being divided into columns)

Smaller Screens

Columns will be reduced on smaller screens by default to make sure of a smooth user experience. But if you have special cases, where for example you would want to spread out the options in a different way, you may opt for a different distribution, from the following:

  • 1 column
  • 2 columns
  • 3 columns
  • 4 columns

Switching the order of the label and image/icon

On your choices it’s possible that you would want to switch the order of image/icon and the label of your field. You can do that from the Image/icon settings fold for your field.

Legacy Mark-up Enabled Forms

The following options can be used to create layouts in Legacy Markup forms:

Layout

Position

All styles are responsive. Styles have been written keeping best UX practices in mind. You do not have to do any more settings, Styles Pro should adapt responsively based on the platform.\

    1. Hi Mike,

      For some reason the regular Gravity Forms CSS is also being loaded on the page. Did you use a non-standard widget to embed the form? Try using Gravity Forms’ own shortcode or block, that should sort the issue. It’s a CSS conflict. If that doesn’t work, you may turn off Output CSS option in Gravity Forms Settings. Please use the Support link at the top to open a ticket if you’re still having problems.

      1. I ended up doing this and it worked:

        .gf_stylespro.sp_flat .ginput_complex .name_first {
        width:48%;
        display: inline-block;
        }
        .gf_stylespro.sp_flat .ginput_complex
        .name_last{
        width:48%;
        display: inline-block;
        }

Have a thought? We're all ears!
