Styling Google Docs Forms

Google Docs doesn't offer an option to customize forms and you can only choose from 70 predefined themes. Gill Smith managed to find a list of parameters that let you style any Google Docs form by adjusting its address.

For example, you can remove the title of a form by adding "&ttl=0" to the URL, you can change the font by adding "&f=FONT_NAME", the text color by appending "&tc=HEX_VALUE" and the background color using "&bc=HEX_VALUE".

Note that this works only for the embedded forms, which have a special URL. Here's the address of the customized form displayed below:

http://spreadsheets.google.com/embeddedform?key=rwP1POieyAS3nnI7OqD7sHQ&ttl=0&f=Verdana&tc=0022ff&bc=f9fff9

Another option is to copy the HTML code generated by Google and to style it using CSS.

{ Thanks, ahab. }

  1. Gill has done some good work there by (what amounts to) deciphering the querystring, but it still only gets you an embedded (iframe) form.

    I like your other method(s) better.

    Thanks for all the info!

    True, but awful lot of work just to tweak the fonts in a form. This is a whole area Google should open up and make more user-friendly. AFTER they let us REMOVE the "Enable Chat" link from our iGoogle pages.

  4. Any known way to adjust the vertical space between the different fields?

  6. Has anyone worked out how to override the redirect that the form goes to once submitted?

  7. I am also interested in overriding the redirect after the form is submitted. Has anyone figured this out?
