The Styles tab in the property editor is a new feature in DX8 that enables refined control of how an element (whether form element, list column or UI page component) would be viewed on either Desktop, Tablet or Mobile. The styles editor allows one to modify an element's CSS styling without the need to write CSS code (unless one uses the custom styling, more on this below)

Form Builder

The style tab in the Form Builder,  allows one to control how a page component is viewed by modifying an element's default style and the component's style component when it is hovered over by a cursor. There is also the option to specify which CSS classes should the element get its style from and the option to modify the position of the element's label.
