If you are, then read on! You will need to learn how
to modify themes to accomplish your goals.
1. In FrontPage
2000, right-click on an open page and choose "Theme..." or go to
Format/Theme.
In FrontPage 2002, go to Format/Theme.
2. Click the "Modify" button in the Themes window (beneath the
Preview area). Three more buttons will appear.
3. Modifying
Colors:
i. Choose the "Colors"
button. Click the "Custom" tab. Then, use the drop-down menus to
select the text that you want to modify and the colors that you
want them to be. You may modify headings, body text, and hyperlink
colors.
ii. You have modified
the colors for either the Vivid Color set or the Normal Color set.
You may wish to modify the colors for the other set. Select the
other radio button to modify it.
Hint:
If you modified one color set but want the exact same colors for
the other set, click on the Color Scheme tab. You will see the
"Custom" scheme selected, but the colors will not have been
applied to your other color set. Select at random one of the other
color sets, then click back on the "Custom" scheme, and you should
see the colors applied.
Choose the style called "mstheme-topbar-font" and
click the "Modify" button.
Then, click the "Format" button and choose "Font."
This is where you may specify the font and colors
for the global navigation buttons. Warning: The number of
colors you may choose is limited. Even if you choose a different
color, FrontPage will render it in a default match. Be sure to
experiment.
