WTF, Forms? is a small CSS-only library that styles native HTML form controls (checkboxes, radios, select menus, file inputs) into friendlier custom controls without JavaScript. It was created by Bootstrap author @mdo and is explicitly no longer maintained, with its ideas folded into Bootstrap 4/5 custom forms.

Use cases

• style checkboxes and radio buttons with pure css
• custom form controls without javascript
• make html select menus look consistent across browsers
• css-only toggle switches for forms
• replace ugly default file input styling

When to choose

• you need a tiny, dependency-free CSS snippet for custom form controls in a legacy project
• you must support old browsers like IE9 with CSS-only form styling

When to avoid

• starting a new project - use Bootstrap 4/5 custom forms or modern CSS accent-color instead
• you need maintained, updated form styling components
