Style Types
In addition to the style group you select, when you click the Styles tab in the Palette, you
also need to select the type of style.
Click to select the style
type to display.
There are four style types you can choose from:
• Buttons: Contains almost all settings (except navigation and jump settings) from the
Button Inspector.
• Text: Contains the font, size, color, rotation, and default text.
• Drop Zones: Contains details about drop zones.
• Layouts: Contains locations, sizes, shapes, and other attributes of one or more buttons
on a menu.
Linking Styles to Templates
You can link, or associate, styles to templates. That way, if you apply a template to a menu
and then want to use a different button style on one of the buttons, you can choose to
see only those button styles that have been linked to that template. This makes it easier
to create menus based on families of templates and styles, helping you maintain a
consistent look while creating a project.
Once you have applied a template to a menu, you can see which styles are linked to that
template by selecting the Current view in the Styles tab in the Palette. When you select
a style type (buttons, text, layouts, or drop zones), only the styles linked to that menu
appear.
Note: You can only link the styles you create to templates. The supplied Apple styles are
already linked to the Apple templates.
