Getting Started 21
In the Schemes tab gallery, click the “Apple” color scheme sample.
Notice that much of the text on the Web page turns red. Now click
the “Carrot” scheme and the text turns orange.
Look closely at the group of five colors to the right of each scheme
name. Note that each time you switch schemes, it’s the first of
these five colors that’s being applied to the text.
In WebPlus templates, body text is conventionally marked with
“Scheme Color 1.” That means it takes on whichever color has been
defined as Scheme Color 1 in the current scheme.
Keep clicking different color schemes and notice which other page
elements change color. Can you identify which elements have been
marked with Scheme Color 2? Scheme Color 3?
Each color scheme sample also shows the unique hyperlink and page
background colors associated with the scheme.
Before proceeding, restore the site’s original scheme by clicking
“Science” in the gallery list.
Continuing our quick-click tour of the Studio, click the Object
Styles tab, which offers another extensive gallery of choices.
As with themes and schemes, there’s more going on here than meets
the eye! You may be familiar with the concept of styles as applied to
word processing. With object styles, each sample “object” is actually a
cluster of attributes (line color, fill, border, etc.) that comprise a
graphic style. You simply apply the style to any object and it takes on
the defined appearance... if you update the style definition, any object
using the style is also updated instantly!
If you mouse over each Object Styles thumbnail, you’ll notice a
small down arrow. Left-clicking this arrow pops up a context menu
identical to the thumbnail’s right-click menu. You’ll find this
convenient feature available in several Studio galleries!
