4. With the rounded rectangle still selected, in the Property inspector, click
the Fill Color box next to the bucket icon.
The Fill Color pop-up window opens.
5.
Type 6B1101 in the text box at the top of the window, and then
press Enter.
6. Click the Stroke Color box next to the pencil icon, and then click the
Transparent button at the top of the Stroke Color pop-up window. (It
should be selected by default.)
The rounded rectangle now has a dark red fill and no stroke.
Next, you need to resize and position the rounded rectangle. You decide to
do this precisely with the Property inspector.
1.
With the rounded rectangle still selected, in the Property inspector, type
700 in the width box (W), type 340 in the height box (H), type 0 for
the X position, type 255 for the Y position, and then press Enter to
apply the last value.
The Y position is only an approximation. You can alternatively use the
arrow keys to nudge the rounded rectangle up or down until it is about 6
pixels below the slideshow placeholder image.
After resizing the rounded rectangle, you notice that the rounded edges are
distorted. You want to adjust these to create appropriately rounded corners.
The rounded rectangle is a Fireworks Auto Shape, so you can use the Auto
Shape Properties panel to adjust the roundness of the corners.
