It is important to understand the difference. You have two options: Save Changes to Current Style or Save as New Style. Click the red triangle to save your changes. I went ahead and formatted the field above it to display the way all default fields should appear.įrom the Inspector, you can easily identify the applied style by the red triangle. We would like to scale that down to a size appropriate for a desktop computer, say 13pt. Since it's a touch theme, the fields are 18pt font for easy use by hand. The image on the right shows the default style for an edit box in one of my favorite themes, River Touch. Saving it at the layout level will allow you to reuse your style in the current layout. To take our object level style to the next level, we need to save it to the layout level. These changes are saved to the individual object on the current layout. Choose any object on a layout and modify it via the Inspector. Object level styling is what FileMaker developers have been doing for years. Now that we know how to create our own theme, let's customize it further. Theme Level - Can be reused across other layouts.Layout Level - Can be reused on the current layout.Object Level - Only exists on the individual object, can not be reused.Which level you choose to save your style at depends on whether you intend to reuse the style or not. In FileMaker 13, we now have the ability to specify styles at the object, layout, or theme level. It will now be part of your FileMaker database and can be applied to any layout. First, choose the FileMaker file that contains the custom theme then, select it from the list of available custom themes. Reusing themes follows the same method as importing other FileMaker objects. You can do this from the theme manager, File > Manage > Themes or from the Change Theme window in Layout mode. Being able to reuse our themes across multiple files or solutions is just as important as creating them in the first place. However, it is only half of the piece to this puzzle.
