#### Styles

Styles let you quickly make uniform changes to multiple elements in your comic. Want all captions to have the same gradient fill? Use a style. Want all panels to have a particular frame width? A style can do it.

Comic Life comes with built-in styles that can be tweaked and then made into new styles. Each type of element (balloon, panel, lettering, etc) has its own inital style and can have any number of additional styles letting you create different looks for different elements of the same type. For example you may want thought balloons to have one style and speech balloons to have another.

To change the style of an element, choose from the Style popup menu, or simply experiment until you create a style you like.
If you have made a variation to the exisiting style, then an asterisk appears next to the style name. Your element is now unique!
If you want to share this new style, then create a New style. New styles can be created under Style Attributes with the '+ New' button - a sheet appears that lets you name the new style. When you click "OK" the new style is created and the element is set to use the new style. Now you can set other elements to have the same style.
You can also Update the current style - be careful! - this will also change the attributes of every other element (that is the same kind and using this style).

If you don't like your changes, press the Revert button to go back to the original style.

If you created a new style and want to apply it to a number of elements simultaneously you can use "Edit->Copy Style" and "Edit->Paste Style". See "Working with Styles" for more information.
