You have learned how to enhance the appearance of your data
by using graphics, custom text, field formatting, and creative
positioning of objects on layouts.
There are many other ways to customize the appearance of fields
and layouts.
For example, after you’ve created a layout, you can:
1 add effects like embossing or patterns to objects
1 use lines or boxes to highlight or separate information
1 add scroll bars to individual fields
1 change background or field color
When you create a new layout, you can apply color and style using
a theme.
For more information on these enhancements, see FileMaker Pro
Help. The database templates that come with FileMaker
Pro also
show ways to enhance layouts. For more information on how to use
the templates, see Customizing Starter Solutions in the Electronic
Documentation folder (inside the English Extras folder).
