How to customize the theme in Google Forms?

"Is there any way to copy styles of a form"- Google Docs Editors Community

You've styled one Google Form the way you want, and the next one starts in purple again. Google's theme option changes the color, header image, background and font, but the questions always sit on white cards in the same layout, and each new form has to be styled again. With Formfacade, you pick a theme and change its colors, fonts and layout, then apply it to all your forms at once, so every form looks like your business and not like Google's.

Below is what Google's theme option can change, then the steps to style your forms with Formfacade. Create your form to start.

Google Forms offers limited customization. You can use the theme option to upload a header image, change the theme color, background color and font.
