New Webflow Feature: Style a Form’s Placeholder Text  

You asked, you waited — it’s here. Now you can style placeholder text in forms just like you’d style any other element in Webflow: however you want. (No custom code required.)

Now you can edit:

  • Typography. Change the font family, size, color, line height and anything else your design calls for.
  • Background. Change the background color, add a gradient, go crazy.
  • Shadows. Add and customize drop shadows on the text.
  • Opacity. 0 to 100 (at a reasonable pace).

I’ve been waiting for this. Webflow’s form styling abilities are amazing, you can customize almost everything to an infinite amount. But it was frustrating that you couldn’t style a text field’s placeholder text… glad to see that they got to this.

Now please just give us the ability to stylea form’s dropdown menus and radio buttons. Oh and a built in file uploader would be great too. Pretty please.
