Edit Existing Theme in Captivate 6

Aug 1, 2012 12:30 PM

Tags: #edit #theme

Is there a way to modify the background graphics used in the included themes that come with Captivate 6?

 

I really like the "White" theme (the one with the gray background, black upper bar, white content area in middle), but would rather make some minor changes to it. Was hoping there is a way to access the source theme file graphics (change size of content area, and change fill color of one shape), modify those, then save as a new theme. Possible?

    Hello,

     

    When applying the white theme as with other themes, you'll get graphics in the Images folder of the Library. It is possible to edit those graphics. Using the Object Style Manager you can adapt colors of fill/stroke for Smart shapes. And in the Themes menu you have the option' Save Theme as.'. Isn't that what you are looking for?

    Thanks Lilybiri. I see them in the Library, but they're flattened images so the actual elements aren't editable, either in Captivate or Photoshop/Fireworks. I'd have to re-create it seems, which I was hoping to avoid to save time.

    Yes, depending on the theme, but mostly backgrounds are flattened images. Changing colors is pretty easy in a graphical program but if you want to do more change, it will need more time. No real layered source images there.
