Symbol Styles

Top Previous Next

Available in Standard Edition only .

FlowBreeze lets you assign styles by individual symbol type. The styles are based off the built-in styles in Excel 2007, and most of them can be emulated attractively in Excel 2000 through 2003. However, as shown in Picture 3 at the bottom of this page, the last row of Themed Styles is not available in Excel 2000 - 2003 due to poor rendering. Also, on some systems that use Excel 2000, the Themed Styles do not display well. Picture 4, at the bottom of this page shows the message that Excel 2000 users will see. If you are using Excel 2000, it is a good idea to stick with the Solid Fill Styles.

Selected Style

The Selected Style image shows the currently selected style. To select a new style, click on it with your mouse.

Apply To

This window is launched from the Symbol List tab in Settings window. When it loads, the style for the currently selected symbol in the symbol list grid will be highlighted. When you change a style, you have three options:

Apply to current symbol: Applies the style only to the symbol that is selected in the Symbol List grid of the main Settings window.

Apply to all symbols: Replaces the style for all the symbols in the Symbol List grid.

Apply to symbols that use the previous style: Applies the style to all the symbols that have the same style as the one currently selected in the Symbol List grid of the main Settings window. For example, if the currently selected symbol has a white fill color and you change it to orange, this setting would replace the style for all the symbols having a white fill. But any symbol with, say, blue or red fill would not be affected.
