# How can I remove the background color behind my forms?

The color box behind your forms is a theme setting, not part of the form itself. Open any page in the page editor, click **Global theme styles** in the left panel and go to **Forms \> Body \> Background**. Change the **Background color** to match your page, or set its opacity to 0 to make it transparent. The form title has its own box under **Forms \> Title \> Background**.

In Focus Plus you can also remove the box and its padding together: go to **Forms \> Padding** and set **Padding type** to **None**. The free Focus theme has no padding option, so use the background color there.

Click **Publish changes** at the top right when you are done; theme settings apply to every form on your site.
