Using Simple Overlay Color Mapping
Simple overlays have one color setting for each button state (normal, selected, and
activated). All white areas of the overlay graphic are automatically set to be
transparent—all black areas become a highlight area. You can use palettes and color
mapping sets with a simple overlay.
The following steps show you how to set up color mapping for a menu when using a
simple overlay. Once you start creating buttons (described in
), you will be able to select the color mapping sets for them.
To set up color mapping for a menu using a simple overlay
1
Select a menu that has a background and overlay assigned.
The Menu Inspector appears.
2
Click the Colors tab in the Menu Inspector.
3
Select Simple next to Overlay Colors.
4
In the Menu Editor, choose Display Composite from the Settings pop-up menu to see
the normal color settings take effect as you set them. (You will not see the selected and
activated settings take effect until you start creating buttons.)
5
Set the color and opacity settings for the normal selection state.
• To choose the color: Open the Color pop-up menu and choose a color from the 16-color
palette that appears.
