After applying
a Super Theme to your web, it is sometimes desirable to change the font
type, style, color or alignment. This is done via the FrontPage Theme
browser in FrontPage 2000 or 2002. In this example, we use the Fran Blue
Super Theme from the Best of Paul #2 package.
So
lets get started
First bring up
the web in FrontPage and select the Format->Theme... menu item.
Format Menu
This will bring
up the FrontPage Theme browser. Press the Modify button at the bottom of
the dialog:
FrontPage Theme Browser / Editor
Changing
Font Attributes (other than color)
To change the
font type, font size, font style or alignment press the "Graphics" button and then the
"Font" tab. Now select the graphic that you would like to
modify the font of. Now change the font type, size, style or alignment
using the dialog controls (shown below).
Changing the Font Type of the Vertical Navigation buttons
Once
the desired change have been made, press the "OK" button.
Changing
Color Attributes of the Theme
To
change the color attributes of the theme, press the "Colors"
button. This will bring up the Modify Theme colors dialog. Press the
"Custom" tab and then select the item that you would like to
change the color of. Then select the new color in the "Color"
popup menu.
Changing the color of the Navigation buttons text.
Once
you have made all your color changes, press the "OK" button to
return to the Theme browser.
Saving
the Modified Theme
Once you have made all the changes you wish
to make, Save the new theme using the "Save As..." button.
Important:
DO NOT save your new theme using the "Save" button as it will
overwrite the old theme which may affect other webs that use that same
theme.
Rename the theme
giving it a version number of some type (see below) and press the
"OK" button.
Save As dialog
You will then be
returned to the Theme browser dialog and the new theme will be selected.
In most cases you should just press the "OK" button to apply
the newly modified theme to you web.
Here
is a before and after shot of a small font type and color change to the
Fran Super Theme vertical navigation buttons.
