hi, I'd like to create a font color and then...this is radical I know....USE THE SAME COLOR again for text. I've looked through the manual, it refers to "text preferences" "color preferences" and a "color panel" but doesn't explain how you call these up.
I don't understand. What do you mean by a "font color?" When you generate text in DVDSP either as a button or as text in a menu, and you select the text or select the button, and go to format: font: show colors, you can use the magnifiying glass to match a color or adjust the color numerically.
Same issue here. Went to format/font/show colors several times and it still won't change the color. I get Brown rather than the Off-White color selected each time. Anything else? Thanks.
to create and colour text on a menu:
open up a menu in the viewer
double click the menu background
a bounding box appears-type in the text you want
double click the text you created to select it
(command - shift - c) to show the colour palette
click on the colour circleand adjust, or on a colour chip to use the colour on the selected text
And there is also the issue of highlight colors which define the color of a button (which can include the text) when the button is selected and activated. These choices are more limited and are available in the menu inspector.
Thanks, Gary. Actually, it's just text for buttons, and the default will not change, so far, with 2 methods. I was able to do a workaround yesterday by selecting the text on each button and changing it to the desired colour afterwards.
I do appreciate the tip for Menu text.
Yes, those can be interesting as well. Three functions for color palette - standard, highlighted and selected text.
Thanks for your reply.
