Adding colors and shadows
You can specify the color properties of each object or group of objects you create in the title view. The Color
Properties dialog box includes controls for setting the color and type of an object’s stroke, fill, and shadow
(Figure 16). To open the Color Properties dialog box, click the Color Properties button in the Monitor panel.
Setting an object’s fill or stroke
You can use the Color Properties dialog box to set an object’s fill or stroke. An object’s fill property defines the area
within the contours of the object: the space inside a graphic object or within the outline of each character of a text
object. You can also edit the outline, or stroke, of an object to which you’ve applied a style containing a stroke.
Note: The Fill and Stroke boxes in the Color Properties dialog box are enabled only if you’ve applied a preset style
from the title Properties Styles panel to the object. These styles contain fills and strokes you can edit.
The Gradient menu provides options for applying a fill or stroke color. Color controls let you specify the color of a
fill or stroke. Depending on the gradient type you select, additional color controls may appear.
