Custom Form -- Formatting and Access to Images

I am creating an online scholarship application. I have a question related to the Custom Form and the fact that the items that I placed from the database are dimmed out and hard to see. How can I brighten them up. I also want to know what I can do to receive an email once the student submits the scholarship application.
Question – why cant I retrieve an image from my database collection with a button… its dimmed out so I cannot connect it to a button like I do my documents.
Another question is this the only way to see items from the database?

  1. Please provide us with a screenshot of the dimmed out images and the site URL .
  2. You can get an email on a form submission as explained here:
