User Guide

Select whether to apply the soon-to-be modiﬁed theme to all pages or just

the selected page.

Select the theme you want to alter.

Click the Modify button and make any necessary changes to the colors,

graphics, or text.

When you are done making changes, save the color scheme with a new

name.

You won’t be able to save the modiﬁed theme with the same name

Click OK to apply the modiﬁed theme.

Deleting a

Custom

Theme

Once you have created your newly modiﬁed theme, it becomes available to

any other new or existing web; however, if for some reason a custom theme is

no longer needed, you can easily remove it by selecting it in the Themes dia-

log box and clicking Delete. (You cannot delete the themes that come with

FrontPage.)

Lesson 4 Follow-up

You began this lesson by learning about the two primary picture types used in web pages, GIF

and JPEG, and how they should be used when estimating a page’s download time. Then, you

learned how to edit a picture using the Pictures toolbar, modiﬁed its properties, and embedded

the picture into a page. Next, you learned how to add hotspots, which are deﬁned areas within

a picture that contain a hyperlink to a picture to create an image map. An image map is essen-

tially a picture that consists of one or more hyperlinks, or hotspots. Then, you learned how to

create a new drawing that contains a piece of WordArt and an AutoShape. Next, you added a

Photo Gallery Web component, which is used to arrange and display pictures with captions and

descriptions. Each image within a photo gallery contains a thumbnail image automatically, to

increase download time. Then, you modiﬁed the Photo Gallery component by removing a pic-

ture, editing a picture by cropping, and rearranged pictures to change the component’s layout.

You then viewed various types of themes, which are sets of complementary graphical design

elements that can be applied to a page/web to achieve an overall professional “look.” Then,

you applied a speciﬁc theme to an entire web so that each page ﬁts within the same design.

Finally, you learned how to modify the existing theme of an individual page by changing its

background color. This may seem like a lot, but by taking the time and effort to make your

web look good, you help to ensure that visitors will want to return to your site.

1. In your opinion, how important do you think it is to add visual appeal to a web? Is it

more or less important than providing engaging content? Or is it about the same?

Answers will vary.

2. What’s more important to you when creating a visual look for your web? Large attrac-

tive graphics or page download speed. Why? Is there a way to have both?

Answers will vary.
