google-form-styling

MAJOR WIP:: Designed to create Google form-styling themes, written with LESS for ease in cusomization.

Demo

*Note that this styling sheet does not work with the newest version of google forms. To enable this styling sheet, the google forms needs to be revered to the old version which can be done by clicking on the bottom right hand corner quetion mark and reverting back to the old version. Demo form in action

Stylesheet content

WIP: This stylesheet is a copied default Google form theme, placing variables for colors, and still needs attention to possible stripping of some un-related things.

Moving Forward

The idea here is to simply copy the form mark Google generates, rather than markdown. This will create a simple stylesheet to add.

Think themes for bootstrap markup=unchanged; sylesheets=changed

** the current stylesheet is normalized into something as default as possible so that I can then create a <my-theme-name.css> file that contains all the variables to do the styling, which is u sing the variables in LESS, working toward a broader option in the future.

How to create a custom form

Create a form as normal
Click the view live form
Copy everything inside the form tag inluding the form tag itself
Create a new blank HTML file
Create an empty div with a container class
Paste all the form markup inside there
Link the style.css stylsheet
Test the form and check the response in Google drive

Hosting the form

Something relatively new to Google Drive is the ability to host static HTML pages.

Create a public shared folder
Upload all your static html files
Open the index.html file in drive and click the preview button
Copy the link to the page it sends you too
Share that link with whoever because you are done!

[DEPRECATED] This is how the demo form is hosted.

lesswatch.js

just run node lesswatch css and it will watch all .less files and compile them for you. The lesswatch is written by idris.

If you prefer <3 SASS/STYLUS/BABIES

Well then find and replace all @varName signs with $varName or just make the variables varName = value for Stylus.

I picked LESS because it has a lower barrier to entry than SASS or STYLUS. Even though I <3 Stylus the best.
