Change a form theme

A theme sets the look of your published form: its colours, fonts, background, and picture.

Good to know

• The change theme button is in the Theme panel (toolbar button theme), not in the form settings.
• Choose a theme lists My themes first (only once you have saved one), then Favorites, then the catalogue groups. Favorites starts with Default Theme, followed by the themes you use most.
• Respondents see the new look after Publish.
• To change colours, fonts, or background, see Customise a theme. To reuse a look, see My themes.

The Theme panel sits beside the canvas, with change theme at the top.

Open the Theme panel

All styling controls are gathered in the Theme panel, so you can see changes directly on the form.

1. Open the form in the designer.
2. Click theme in the top toolbar. The panel opens on the right.

After you click Cancel or Change theme in the catalogue, the designer opens on this panel again.

Choose a catalogue theme

The catalogue is a separate page where you can preview each theme on your own form before choosing.

1. In the Theme panel, click change theme.
2. Browse through the categories to find a theme that fits your form. Click Preview on any card to see your form with that theme’s default styling, or click Select.
3. In the bottom bar, click Change theme to apply it.

Cancel returns to the designer without changing the theme.

Switching theme

Switching to another theme discards your custom colours, fonts, background, and picture. The form then uses the defaults of the new theme. To keep your current look, save it first under My themes.

Which themes you can customise

Every theme in the catalogue can be customised, including Classic and Default Theme, on all plans. The options in the Theme panel depend on the theme. See Customise a theme.

When respondents see it

The designer shows the new theme straight away. Respondents see it only after you click Publish in the top toolbar. See Publishing a form for the full publishing flow.
