Setting Colors

WebObjects Builder allows you to set the colors for a page’s background,
selected text, and hyperlinks.

To set the color of selected text in the component window, click in the

border of the color well

in the toolbar. To set other colors, use the Page

Attributes Inspector.

Clicking the border of any color well brings up the Colors panel.

The Colors panel provides several methods of selecting colors. When you
select a color, it appears in the currently selected color well.

You can drag colors from one color well to another, to the window at the top
of the Colors panel, or to one of the squares at the bottom of the Colors
panel to save it.

Palettes

A palette is a collection of resources (such as images, static or dynamic
HTML elements, and components). You can drag elements from a palette
to a component to use them. You can also drag elements from a component
to a palette to store them.

Palettes appear in WebObjects Builder’s palette window. To open the

palette window, click

on the toolbar or choose Tools

m

Palette.

These buttons provide different ways to select colors.

You can drag colors between this panel
and any color well.

Drag frequently used colors to these squares to
save. Drag from squares to a color well to apply.
