div.wpforms-container-full form#wpforms-form-535  .wpforms-field-rating-item svg:hover {
    fill: #448ccb !important;
}
div.wpforms-container-full form#wpforms-form-535 .wpforms-field-rating-item.selected svg {
    fill: #448ccb !important;
    transform: none !important;

FAQ

Q: Will this work for Conversational Forms too?

A: Absolutely! This CSS will customize the look of the rating icons when using the Conversational Forms addon, the Forms Pages addon as well as a standard embed of the form in any post, page or widget.

Q: What if I wanted to use my own image for the icons?

A: If you’d like to use your own image, you can certainly do that but the CSS will look differently.

Once you’ve uploaded your image to your server or inside your WordPress Media Library, copy and paste this CSS to your site.

In our example, we’re using an image that is 150px in width and 150px in height.


form#wpforms-form-535 .wpforms-field-rating-item {
    padding-right: 6px;
    background-image: url(https://yoursite.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/crown-3.jpg);
    height: 50px;
    width: 50px;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: 50%;
}
 
form#wpforms-form-535 .wpforms-field-rating-item:hover, 
form#wpforms-form-535 .wpforms-field-rating-item.selected {
    background-size: 70%;
}
 
form#wpforms-form-535 .wpforms-field-rating svg {
    display: none;
}

You would just need to update the form ID (535) and update the URL to your image.
