Forms Theme Properties

In a Theme, define the following Form properties:

Note: In some instances where there is an option for more than one color, the additional colors are used for a gradient.
  • Accent Colors: Select the accent colors used to emphasize a color scheme.
  • Alert Colors: Select the alert colors to indicate an alert condition (high, low, and medium).
    Note: Accent and alert colors are not automatically applied to any elements. Manually apply the colors (or any colors for that matter), if needed. Often, these colors are used in Expressions to conditionally change the color.
