Can a blurred background be used in a form to keep a background image readable?
Yes. Among Jestor's form style options is a blur option for the background: when there's an image behind the form, the blur softens that image to improve the readability of the content, while keeping the image visible behind it.
Why does a background image without blur hurt a form's readability?
A sharp background image behind a form can visually compete with the text and fields, making it harder to read, especially if the image has a lot of detail or contrast. The blur effect solves that by softening the background, without needing to remove the image entirely.
How to enable a blurred background in Jestor?
- Access the super form's style editor.
- In the background color options, choose between transparent, solid color, or blur.
- Selecting blur keeps the background image visible, but softened, so it doesn't get in the way of reading the form's content.
- Combine it with other style options, like title and field color, to keep the visuals consistent with your brand identity.
| Background option | When to use it |
|---|---|
| Transparent | When the form should take on the color of the app behind it |
| Solid color | When you want a specific brand color as the background |
| Blur | When there's a background image that needs to stay visible, but softened |
