How to change the background and font color of the Form?

    I started the form with a race registration template. SOMEWHERE I stumbled on how to change the text color, but can't find it now. Here's the url for the form

    https://www.jotform.com/build/241795621746162

    1. How do I change the text color? At one point I had a colored background for the form, with some white text and some black text. Now I can't change the form back to white background because the white text disappears. Apparently the black text and white text are different header/body classes or something, but can't find it.
    2. How do I add fields to the form? I have renamed some of the fields to my purpose, but now I want to add fields
    3. In Registration costs section, I was able to somehow click and get the side bar to change the text from "1 day" to the early registration cost. But I couldn't seem to change the second line of text. Messing around about 15 minutes I finally clicked on SOME MAGIC combination and was able to change it. I FINALLY was able to save it, but now I have the same issue trying to add optional things like dinner/cocktails/extra events. I'm still in BUILD and have saved it, but if I click back in the form area, it opens a pop up to add a graphic image. I did that by mistake, and then wanted to delete the added image, but clicking the trash can REMOVED ALL THE TEXT IN THE REGISTRATION area.

    This certainly isn't as EASY as you lead us to believe....Thanks, Pat

    Hi Pat,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. The color of the background and text of your form can change if you select a new theme. However, it is very easy to change it back to the color you like. Let me show you how:

    1. In Form Builder, click on the Paint Roller icon on the right side of the page to open Form Designer.
    2. Under the Color Tab, change the Form Color and Font Color by adding Hex Code or using the Color Picker tool.

    OK Thanks. I had used the paint roller thing and had selected all the different color schemes and could NOT get rid of the uglier than dirt orange blocks. EVERY scheme I selected had that ugly orange behind the blocks (I guess maybe header blocks above each section.) Now for some mysterious reason that's fixed....
