Freeway Reference: Working with Color

Applying color to text
The simplest way to apply a color to a text run is to select it and choose a color from the Color popup in the Inspector palette. You
can use this method to make different words in a box appear in different colors.
Applying color to a box
FW Pro only
Select the box (or with the text cursor in a box, choose Background from the Apply To popup menu at the top of the Styles & Colors
palette) and choose a color from the Styles & Colors palette or Inspector palette. When the box is selected, the color is highlighted in
the Styles & Colors palette. If you select several boxes filled with different colors, all the selected colors appear highlighted in the Styles
& Colors palette.
Note: If a box has a border applied, it is only possible to change the color by
using the
Item Appearance panel in the Inspector palette.
Note: Freeway Express users can apply color to boxes using the color popup
menus in the
Inspector palette. See page 151 for details.
None and Knockout
Freeway’s colors list includes two special colors: None and Knockout.
None
HTML and graphic items drawn on the page in Freeway have None as the background color by
default. None means there is no color fill applied to the selected item, so it will be transparent
and show items and colored items behind it.
Graphic text can also be given a fill of None. This can be used in association with the Overlay
attribute to give the selected text a border but a transparent background so that the colors of
items behind the text show through.
Create transparent text with an outline attribute using
Freeway Pro
1. Select some graphic text.
2. Choose the color None in the Styles and Colors palette.
3. Choose the Text Appearance panel of the Inspector palette.
4. Reveal the Effects if it is not already showing.
5. Click on the Overlay Effects icon.
6. In the Overlay panel, choose a color to create the outline effect.
Set the overlay, opacity, width, position and filter as you wish.
Create transparent text with an outline in Freeway
Express
1. Select some graphic text.
2. Choose the Text Appearance panel of the Inspector palette.
3. Select the Outline effect button. This gives a default 1px green
outline. Set the outline color, opacity, and outline thickness as
desired.
Note: The Overlay and Outline effects can only be applied
to text while it is selected.
