# The Style Studio: themes & layouts

When you open the **Mode** tab → **Form style** in the [builder](/knowledge-base/building-forms/the-form-builder), you enter the **Style Studio** — a live, visual design system that lets you re-skin an entire Classic form without touching code. Every change appears instantly in the preview.

## One-tap presets

Start with a ready-made theme or dial in the six styling axes yourself. The presets get you moving fast; the axes give you total control.

## The six styling axes

- **Color theme** — Cloud (bright), Midnight (deep dark), Coral (warm), Sage (calm), or Mono (grayscale).
- **Type mood** — Geometric, Editorial (serif headlines), Technical (monospace), or Humanist.
- **Density** — Airy, Cozy, or Compact spacing.
- **Shape** — Soft, Sharp, or Pill corners.
- **Background** — Flat, Glow, Grid, Gradient, or an animated Network of drifting nodes.
- **Motion** — Full, Subtle, or Off (always respecting reduced-motion preferences).

## Your brand layers on top

Whatever theme you choose, your workspace brand always wins: your logo appears, your accent color highlights interactive elements, and your fonts show up in headings and body text — so your form feels unmistakably yours.

## Cover & banner images

Add a striking image across the top of your form — a hero shot, a product photo, or a branded banner — that sets the tone before anyone starts answering.

## Live preview

Every adjustment appears instantly in the preview pane, across desktop and mobile, so you see your form the way respondents will before you publish.
