Be careful when changing a style, because any changes you make affect the appearance of all the pages and regions that use the style.

To change item attribute colors and fonts:

  1. In the Navigator click Edit next to the style with which you want to work.

    Tip: If the style is used by more than one page group, it will be under the Shared Objects page group.

    Tip: If you do not know the name of the style you want to change, edit a page or region that uses the style. When editing a page or region, if you have the appropriate privileges, you can also edit the style used by that page or region.

  2. In the Style Element Type section, choose Items.

  3. In the Style Element Properties section, choose the item attribute for which you want to change the colors and fonts.

    Tip: You can also select the item attribute by clicking it in the Preview section.

  4. To select a new color, click the color in the color palette, or enter the hexadecimal color code in the Color field.

  5. To change the font, choose the desired Font Face, Font Size, Font Style, and Font Decoration. The <Default> font face renders the text in the default font specified by the user's browser.

  6. Click Apply.

    The Preview section is refreshed to show your color and font selections.

  7. Edit each of the item attribute style elements as desired, remembering to click Apply after changing the color or font of each element.

  8. Click Close to return to the Navigator.
