The Styles panel divides styles into three categories: Image, Text, and Shape. You can apply any style to an individual
layer, except subpicture highlight layers—layers with the (=1), (=2), or (=3) prefix. When styles are applied to layer
sets or buttons, they affect the layers within the set according to their style category. The layers they affect depend
upon the category:
Applies the style to all layers in a layer set (except highlight layers).
Image
Applies the style to the first text layer in a layer set that is not a highlight layer.
Text
Applies the style to the first shape layer in a layer set that is not a highlight layer.
Shapes
Styles generally fully replace any existing effects applied to a layer. The Styles panel includes a few styles that add to
the existing effects in a layer rather than completely restyle it. Additive styles have a plus sign (+) at the beginning of
their names. You can create your own styles and add them to the Styles panel, or group styles into sets. (See "Creating
styles for menu elements" on page 130.)
To apply a preset style to a layer or button set
Select the layer (or button set) in the Menu Viewer or Layers panel.
1
In the Styles panel, select the style, and click the Apply Style button
2
If your menu contains a styled layer that you like, you can quickly create a new style by dragging the layer directly
to the Styles panel. The new style contains any effects applied to the layer. (See "Creating styles for menu elements"
on page 130.)
