Support for jDownloads 3 has been ended
Since 17 August 2023 Joomla.org has discontinued support for Joomla 3.x. Therefore, we will no longer offer official support for our Joomla 3 jDownloads version 3.9.x from January 2024.
Please update your website to the latest Joomla version (Joomla 4 or Joomla 5) as soon as possible. Afterwards, please update jDownloads to the latest published version. The longer you delay, the more difficult the upgrade process for your website is likely to be.

Hello,
I would like to change the upload layout, not only the available fields, but also the distribution, color, etc.
How do I do it?

Thanks...

I don't see any of the layouts that actually touch the Upload form. I've looked through every layout, and I can't find it - can you tell me which category of layouts governs the Upload form?

Hi
Whoops,I misunderstood!  You mean the front end Upload form. 
Have you looked at User Group Settings?  There are two basic modes: tabbed or list.  Also you can set which questions are are or are not posed to a user.  Suggest you get that bit sorted out first.  Remember it is by user group and read about setting the user group ranking to sort out when users belong to multiple groups.

There is not a layout for the upload form, its appearance is controlled by css.  Are you OK with changing that or finding out which css class controls what?  If you are not familiar with css then please let me know.

Hi
Much of the css comes from your template.  If you only wish to change the jDownloads part then a very convenient way is to use jdownloads_custom.css
See http://www.jdownloads.net/documentations/item/custom-css for more info.

For example in my template one of css statements  for the form is
div.current dd.tabs {
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 10px;
    clear: both;
    border: 1px solid #CCC;
}

The following css was included in jdownloads_custom.css
/*  upload form background colour override*/
div.current dd.tabs {
    background-color: aliceblue !important;
}
.jd_fieldset_outer {
    background-color: aliceblue;
}


This produced a form like the pic below
