How color schemes work<br />

Color schemes in <strong>WebPlus</strong> work much<br />

like a paint-by-numbers system, where<br />

various regions of a layout are coded<br />

with numbers, and a specific basic color<br />

is assigned (by number) to each region.<br />

For example, consider the petal<br />

opposite, labelled with the numbers 1<br />

through 5. To fill it in, you'd use paint<br />

from the paint jars numbered 1 through<br />

5. Swapping different colors into the<br />

paint jars, while keeping the numbers on<br />

the drawing the same, would produce a<br />

differently colored petal automatically.<br />

Each scheme also includes adjunct<br />

colors which apply specifically to<br />

hyperlinks (default H, followed F, active<br />

A, rollover R), off-page window<br />

backgrounds (B), and on-page colors<br />

(O).<br />

Each site can have just one color scheme active at any one time; this is called the<br />

site color scheme and is always shown in the Swatches tab. When you save a<br />

site, its current color scheme is saved along with the site.<br />

To select a preset color scheme:<br />

1. Click Color Scheme Designer on the default context toolbar.<br />

OR<br />

Display the Swatches tab, to show the current color scheme, e.g.<br />

Click the button.

Hooray! Your file is uploaded and ready to be published.
