You can remove the background and shadow of questions on your form within Theme. Here's how to get started:

  1. Go to your form editor.
  2. Navigate to Theme (droplet icon in the top-right).
  3. Go to UI Elements → Questions.
  4. Toggle the option labeled "Has background and shadow".

If you're looking for a more bespoke approach to modifying question backgrounds, this requires use of Custom CSS (a feature of our Agency plan).
