FrontPage98 Tips 

 

14. Create custom themes 

FrontPage 98 ships with more than 50 professionally designed themes that can be applied to your Web site using the Explorer's Themes view. But did you know you can easily customize those themes? Or even create your own? 

Take a look on the FrontPage 98 CD-ROM in the Sdk/Themes/Designer folder. You'll find the FrontPage 98 Theme Designer. To install it, run the tdsetup.exe program. The next time you run FrontPage, you can access the Theme Designer from the FrontPage Explorer by selecting Show Theme Designer from the Tools menu. 

The Theme Designer lets you define settings for a number of different style elements, including: 

Color
Text 
Headings 
Backgrounds 
 
Table Borders
 
Links 

Graphics 
Bullets 
Banners 
Navigation Icons 
Navigation Bar Buttons 
Horizontal Lines 

You can also select a font for your theme. And it's a good idea to specify a few alternates while you're at it. 

Using the Theme Designer is simplicity itself. To change an element, just right-click it and select Properties from the pop-up menu. The dialog box that appears shows different options available for that element. For instance, to change the table border colors, right-click the table element and select Table Properties from the pop-up menu. In the resulting dialog box, select the colors you want from the drop-down list. That's it.
