Adding Colors

To add a new color:

  1. To get the Properties view populated, click the UI control preview.
  2. In the Properties view, select the property to be edited, and click the Add New Color option in the Value column drop-down list to open a system color dialog.

    You can also click the Plus button in the Palette Window toolbar.

  3. Select the color or define a custom color, and click OK.

    The added color appears in the Properties view, and a new entry is created in the Palette Window as a color group with the color, name of the property, and the hexadecimal ARGB representation of the color.

  4. To apply the new color group to a color property in the Palette Window, drag the particular color property to the new color group.
