Changing the background
color of the current
window
Depending on the type of artwork you are
using or the type of design you are creating,
you may want to change the background
color of your window. For example, if you are
creating a design with light color threads, you
may want your background darker so that the
stitches are more visible on-screen. Use the
change background color button located at
the top of the design window to change the
background color.
To change the background color:
1 Click the Change Background Color
tool.
You see the Color palette.
2 Select the color you want for your
background.
3 Click OK.
The new color replaces the old color on
your design workspace.
Showing and hiding
outline segments
Xpressive allows you to show and hide
outline segments. You can use the Show
outlines tool to quickly show and hide
segments as well as segment outlines.
