Customizing Image Choice Labels

Overlay Labels on Hover

This style creates an elegant overlay effect where labels appear over the image when users hover:

with this CSS you can easily style the labels to appear over the images when you hover

Add Border and Box Effects

Use border and box properties to create frames, borders, or rounded corners around the labels.

form#wpforms-form-1000 .wpforms-field .wpforms-image-choices-label {
    border-radius: 5px;
    border: 1px solid #ccc;
    padding: 5px;
}

in this CSS example, we are placing a border around the label

Rotate Images on Hover

By applying the CSS rule transform, we’ll introduce a delightful twist to your images. Upon hovering, they’ll elegantly rotate, injecting a playful interactive element into your form. This engaging effect captivates visitors as they navigate through your selection of images.

form#wpforms-form-1000 .wpforms-field .wpforms-image-choices-item:hover {
    transform: rotate(10deg);
}

in this example we are applying a tilting effect when you hover over the image

Box Shadow on Hover

Enhancing your images with a touch of depth and dimension, we’re implementing a box shadow effect on hover and removing the default border on hover. As your visitors glide over each image, a subtle shadow gracefully emerges, imbuing your form with a captivating sense of depth and interactivity.

form#wpforms-form-1000 .wpforms-image-choices label:hover {
    border: none;
    box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
}

with this CSS example, we are providing a box shadow on hover

Combine Multiple Effects (Border, Labels and Box Shadow on Hover)

In this last example, we’re going to combine some of the CSS we’ve already used.

When you hover over the image now, you’ll see the label over the image.

with this CSS we can combine a little of everything
