    I noticed that I can't change my submit button color in the UI anymore. Did something change?
    I tried changing the button color through CSS but it deletes my background on my form.

    (can't upload a screenshot either) PLEASE HELP!!

    Hi sparklife21, 

    Thanks for using Jotform. You can easily change the Submit button's color by Injecting CSS Codes into your form. Let me walk you through it:

    1. First, copy this code:

    .form-submit-button {
      background-color: #023550 !important;
    }
    

    2. In Form Builder, click on the Paint Roller icon on the right side of the page to open Form Designer.

    3. Now, in the Form Designer menu, click on the Styles tab, scroll down and paste the code into the Inject CSS Code box. That’s it. The code is automatically saved.

    Unfortunately that does not work. It deletes my background color and image when I return to the form builder. The background image shows on the published form, but the background color still is gone.

    Hi sparklife21, 

    I checked your Connect with Spark Life form, and the image appears with a dark shade similar to the screenshot you previously shared. Check out the screenshot below:

Image-1I’ve gone ahead and cleared your form caches to rule out any temporary loading issues. Could you check your form one more time and see if that helps? You can also follow the steps Kyle shared here earlier to change the color of your Submit button again, then check if it works now.

    Keep us updated and let us know if you need any more help.

    Hello,

    thats just because I reverted to a previous version since this is a published form. The background is still going blank after adjusting the button color. Even the ai bot attempted changing it at least 10 times and said it’s a bug in the ui based on my photos. Maybe best to test the ui from a customer perspective. Happy to hop on a screen share to show you and troubleshoot.

    thanks.

    Hi sparklife21,

    I had a look at your form and was able to see the white background. I tried changing it from the Form Designer settings with no luck, but you can force the background color after injecting this CSS code:

    .supernova {
        background-color: #023550;
    }
    

    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
