I had s similar issue with formatting the field length.. .all the CSS tricks with additional classes and formatting of divs would not shorten the size of the field that a form filler outer would use to enter their response. But then I saw somewhere, not sure where, that you could add the text size:## inside the brackets of the field, like so
[text* First-Name akismet:authorfirst autocomplete:first_name size:18
maxlength:25 placeholder "first name"]
Cross your fingers, and adjust your form like so, I’d be interested to hear what the result is.
[type=”text” background-color: #ffffff ]
(tangential friendly reminder; the placeholder tag must always come last or the input question gets screwed up in rendering the form on your page. )
Which version of WordPress and which version of the Contact Form 7 plugin do you use on the site?

@mihc1234 : nothing worked
[text* your-name background-color: #dddddd autocomplete:name] does nothing, even if I remove CSS code
As per [type=”text” background-color: #ffffff ], it just writes this text on the form …
@takayukister : that would be 6,8,2 for wordpress and 5.7.5.1 for Contact Form 7
(I know it’s not the last, but unless you know for certain there is a fix in the later version, I’m not sure I will update).
