Managing Styles

Top Previous Topic Next Topic  Print this topic

Among applying styles already implemented in the .css file, XF Designer provides the possibility of creating, modifying or removing styles from the .css file.

 

In order to manage styles in the .css file, the Manage Styles option accessed through the Change Style button located in the Styles group under the Home tab must be selected.

This action will display the Manage Styles dialog box.

In this dialog the user will find all classes available in the .css file, a preview of the style applied to the name of the class, the properties contained in the selected class and options for creating, modifying or deleting styles.

Creating a new style

To create a new style the New Style.. button must be selected and the Add style dialog will be displayed. Here the user can set the name and the type of style (the element the style applies to) and formatting options (attributes). Also, a preview that exemplifies the new changes on a text is displayed.
