Core Forms 4.0.2

Visual refresh — the admin dashboard and the default front-end form theme now share the design language of core-forms.com, with no webfonts loaded anywhere.

Admin design system

New assets/css/design-system.css declares the brand / ink / surface / radius / shadow tokens lifted directly from the marketing site, scoped to Core Forms admin pages so other plugins are untouched.

New components: - .cf-page-hero — gradient page header with eyebrow pill, heading, sub-text, CTA row - .cf-btn family — primary / secondary / ghost in sm / lg sizes, with the marketing-site shadow + lift-on-hover - .cf-stat — KPI tile with brand-tinted icon chip

WordPress chrome inside Core Forms pages picks up the new look: - .wp-list-table, .form-table inputs, .button-primary, .tablenav, .subsubsub, .notice - Brand-blue 4-step focus ring, 8px corner radii, layered shadow scale

Page redesigns

  • Forms overview opens with the hero plus four KPI stat cards (active forms, total submissions, submissions today, caught as spam) before the forms list.
  • Settings gets the same hero treatment with a Documentation CTA.

Default front-end form theme

Rewrote form-theme.css against the same tokens: - Brand-blue submit buttons with lift-on-hover and the marketing-site shadow (0 4px 12px rgba(47,99,245,.25)) - 8px input radii, hover state on inputs, brand-blue focus border with 4-step focus ring - Soft-tint success / error / warning messages with proper border colors - Secondary buttons for multi-step \"back\" - Dashed brand-tinted drop-zone styling for <input type=\"file\"> - Headings get proper letter-spacing and weight scale

No webfonts

  • The admin design system uses the WordPress system stack (-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, \"Segoe UI\", Roboto, …).
  • The front-end form theme sets --cf-font: inherit, so each form picks up the host theme's font.
  • No fonts.googleapis.com requests anywhere.

Upgrade notes

  • No data or schema migrations.
  • Pure CSS / template chrome refresh — fully backwards compatible.
  • Custom form theme tokens (cf_form_theme_tokens option) keep working unchanged.
