Working with Styles
Styles are a handy way to make uniform changes to the look of your
comic — want all panels to have a particular color and border width? Want Captions to have the same background gradient fill? These
are all editable in a single place — the Style Attributes in the
Details tab. All the styles settings in a comic are called a
"stylesheet".
You can save and load
stylesheets independently from a comic — allowing you to easily create multiple comics with a standard look. If
you want ALL elements to be created in a particular style then Update
the 'Default' style.
Creating a new style
- Create a new comic
- Place an element (for example, a panel) on the page

- Bring up
the Details interface by choosing
View->Show Details or by clicking on the Details" tab
- All the
attributes for the object, and the style for
the object are displayed — lets change the background color
to
green

- Change
the color and watch the panel background
color change. Notice now the pencil icon next to the style
name.
This shows there is a variation to the style

- Press
the 'Save As... +' button, and a pop-up menu asks you
to name your new style. Lets call it, "Big Green".
Click OK
- You can
now use this style for other elements
Updating a style
- Create a
new Panel by dragging it out from the
Library

- Now set
its style to the new red filled style we just
created by choosing it in Style Attributes (In Details). You can see the style we just made
- Make a
change to the panel, for example, lets make
the frame thicker
- Now
there is pencil icon next to our style. That
means we have made a variation
- We like
our change, and we want all elements with
the same style to change as well, so we click "✓ Update"

- The
pencil icon badge now disappears. Also, our first panel
now has a thick border as well — as it uses the same style
Reverting to a style
At any point you can revert back to the original style chosen by
selecting 'Revert'. A pop up menu will remind you that you will loose
your changes to the style — to prevent this you should update the
current style or create a new style.
