Form Theme Properties

In a Theme, you can define Form Theme properties, such as accent and alert colors, and a Form background.

Note: For some properties, you can set more than one color. If you set multiple colors, and set a corresponding gradient option, the additional colors are used to create 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, if needed. Often, these colors are used in Expressions to conditionally change the color.

  • Banner background: Select the banner background colors. The two color options are available for a variety and to support a gradient.

    The following figure shows a two-part gradient shading from the light gray to black on the banner.
