Setting Colors

To set a static foreground color, background color, and transparency (alpha) for a component, follow the steps below:

1. Right-click the element, and select 'Format' form the context menu. This opens the 'Format' dialog box.

For a Table component, right-click on the region of the table to which you want to apply the property:

a. Right-click a data cell to apply the property to all data cells in the column.

b. Right-click on the column header cell to apply the property to only the column header.

c. Right-click the title bar to apply the property to only the title bar.

Hint: To select the Table without select­ing any cells, drag across the Table or click on the Table handle.

d. Right-click the Table handle (with no cell selected) to apply the property to the whole Table. This global table color or transparency is overridden by the property specified for the individual cell.

2. Select the Color tab in the 'Format' dialog box.

3. In the 'Text' panel, select 'Value' from the right-side pop-up menu.

 

4. Click on the color chip to select the desired foreground (text) color.

 

5. Repeat the above steps in the 'Fill' panel to set the background (fill) color.

6. Set the fill transparency by selecting a value from the 'Alpha' menu. A value of 0% indicates complete fill transparency (i.e., fill color not visible), and a value of 100% indicates complete fill opacity.

 

You can also color dynamically by specifying an input control (variable) or an expression. See Dynamic Properties for details.
