Aras 32 and lab_styleform / custom-form-css

Hello, 

We are upgrading Aras from 12SP09 to Aras32 and some our forms are using https://github.com/ArasLabs/custom-form-css lab_Styleform javascript. I can see there hasn't been any updates in GitHub in 6 years. 

And the forms are looking a little bit funny. But the main question is that is there better way to modify the css than this custom-form-css in Aras version 32? Should we ditch the old way and start using something better now in a new version? And what that new way of doing that would be? Any hint/advice?

Cheers, 

Jukka

    Do you plan to use the old or new Form editor?

    The project was a huge playground of Eli and mainly intended to demonstrate that you can built and influence whatever you want. And more important: It was written against Innovator 11. Back than they still evaluated a lot of the design concepts for I12. 

    One of my personal golden rules: Things have to pretty and easy to understand for the end user - and they can be ugly for the administrators. So I only use styling for elements and Form that are used in production. 

    I used the sample project to create a very lightweight stylesheet for my own projects. But I only use this as rough basis. I always end up adding custom CSS or stylesheet overwrites in the Form Body. I have some stylesheet mods in the core CSS files, but these are mainly extensions (Aras doesn´t has a green button OOTB[emoticon:d6dd260102fd406884fc96b8bc59760b]).

    But I so far still mainly use the old form editor.
