doForms allows you to set a default set of appearance parameters. This eliminates the need to set colors and other parameters each time you add an element to your form. You can however override the default settings for any tool by simply picking the Custom option.

Settings

There are several ways of accessing the appearance settings:

Settings menu

From the form builder tab menu, select Settings > Form appearance menu item. This will open the settings window enabling you to select and set the standard colors for the form.

Edit defaults

The settings may also be changed from the Appearance property's Edit defaults link. The Standard Colors option is the default color theme that may be changed. The Custom Settings allow you to show pick the specific color for the tool.

By selecting the property's custom options, you are changing the appearance from the standard set of colors, allowing you to differentiate the selected question from the rest of the questions on the form.

Setting a common theme

If you have a common theme that you would like to apply to all your tools use the form appearance settings and set you standard color set here. Since the default is to Use Defaults the common color settings will apply and take on the colors set in your theme.
