When we first established the MX8 Labs Research Platform, we hadn't limited the configuration you could provide for your surveys. Nowadays, they are configurable through the theme tab:

The style specifies whether to use a traditional web forms style or the mobile-friendly chat style. For a full comparison of the two — including pros and cons, head-to-head performance, and guidance on when to choose each — see Traditional or Chat based survey experience?. For a per-instrument breakdown of how each question type renders in each style, see the Chat vs. Traditional compatibility matrix.

In either orientation you have the following options you can configure:

• Main color - this is the primary color used as a highlight color.
• Secondary - this is the background color for the text.
• Icon - the icon is only shown in portrait orientation. It defaults to a picture of an AI-generated woman called Shanna.
• Background - the background image. This should be a tileable image, which means it is seamless when repeated.
• Line 1 - for the portrait orientation, this is the phrase shown at the top
• Line 2 - for the portrait orientation, this is the second phrase shown at the top.
• Multichoice - this is the English-language message shown to the user when we want them to choose one of multiple choices.
• Multiselect - this is the English-language message shown to the user when we want them to choose one or more of multiple choices.
• Others - this is the English-language message shown to the user for text-based questions.

Note that any messages you enter in the theme will automatically be included in the translations for the survey.
