Operation Manual

Gallery images
Draw includes several images in a Gallery. These images are grouped into themes: Bullets;
Rulers; Homepage; Rulers; Sounds and so on. The left pane of the gallery window lists the
available themes. Click on a theme to see its images displayed in the right pane of the Gallery
dialog (Figure 251).
The default themes are read only; no images can be added to or deleted from these themes. The
default themes are easily recognizable by right-clicking on each category and the only available
option in the pop-up menu is Properties.
Any themes that you create are the only themes that are customizable allowing you delete or
rename themes and add or delete your own graphics. For more information on creating themes,
see “Creating themes and adding images” on page 221.
