About Styles

Buttons and shapes can have styles applied to them using the Button Style and Shape Style fields in the Components Property Editor. Those styles are set in Store Manager, where the background and text color for each style are specified (see Set Colors for Menu Button Styles in the Store Manager Help). If a style other than "Unstyled" is set on a button or shape, any color properties will be controlled by that style, and background or font colors set in the Components Property Editor will be overridden when the menu is loaded in Terminal.

Best Practice HM

Hint To apply the button or shape colors you set in the Components Property Editor, select a Button or Shape Style of "Unstyled."
