Styling Theme

Self-Hosting Requirements: Uploading custom background images and brand logos requires file upload storage to be configured. If you’re self-hosting Formbricks, make sure to configure file uploads before using these features.

Keep the survey styling consistent over all surveys with a Styling Theme. Customize colors, fonts, buttons, inputs, and other styling options to match your brand’s aesthetic.

Configuration

In the left sidebar, open Settings → Workspace → Appearance:

Customize your survey with your brand’s logo.

Open Logo Settings

In Settings → Workspace → Appearance, scroll down to the Logo Upload box.

Upload your logo. Logos must be 5 MB or less.

Add Background Color (Optional)

If you’ve uploaded a transparent image and want to add a background to it, enable the toggle and select a color.

Save

Remember to save your changes!

The logo settings apply across all Link Survey pages.

Overwrite Styling Theme

You can allow overwriting the styling theme for individual surveys to create unique styles per survey:

In the survey editor, a Styling tab will appear where you can overwrite the default styling theme. See the Custom Styling guide for details.

CSS Variables Reference

Under the hood, every styling property maps to a CSS variable prefixed with --fb-. For App & Website Surveys, you can override these directly in your global CSS file (e.g., globals.css) by targeting the #fbjs selector. See the full CSS Variables Reference in the Custom Styling guide.
