Using the Style Editor

The Style Editor allows you to change the color of keys and the appearance of text labels.

To access the Style Editor, navigate to View > Styles. Or, after selecting a key in the Editor panel, click the Style drop-down list in the Key Detail panel and select Style Editor.

In this dialog you can alter the following key styles:

• Name. The name of the style as it will appear in the Styles selector of the Key Details panel. After creating a new style, you cannot edit its name.

• Text color. The color of the key's text label.

• Key Color. The color of the key when in an unpressed state.

• Press Color. The color of the key when pressed.

• Font Weight. Displays a key label's font in normal or bold weights.

• Feedback. The predefined haptic feedback, or vibration pattern, associated with keys using this style. You can pick short buzz, long buzz, two buzzes, and three buzzes. When a feedback type is selected and that key is pressed, the device will vibrate according to the chosen pattern.

• Bloom. Applies a light bloom or glow effect to the key when pressed.

To apply a style to an individual key, see Key Details Panel. To establish a style as a default for all keys on a keyboard, see Editor Panel.
