Can you use a blurred background on a form to keep a background image readable?
Yes, you can use a blurred background on a form. This style option applies a blur over the background image, keeping it visible while improving the readability of the text and fields placed on top of it.
Why use blur instead of full transparency?
When a form has a background image — for example, to reinforce a company's visual identity — making the background fully transparent can hurt readability, depending on the image's contrast. Blur solves that problem: it softens the image without hiding it completely, balancing looks and legibility.
It's a middle-ground option between keeping the image sharp (which can get in the way of reading) and using a solid color (which hides the image entirely).
How to apply the blur
- Open the edit view for the super form you want.
- In the background options, choose between solid color, transparent, or blur.
- Select the blur option to keep the image visible but softened.
- Also adjust title and field colors to make sure there's enough contrast with the background.
| Background option | Effect |
|---|---|
| Transparent | Takes on the color of the app behind it |
| Blur | Softens the image while keeping it visible |
