Designer 1 (Basic Toolkit and Single Gift Tool)
This version of the Designer applies only to tools in the Basic Toolkit and the Single Gift Tool.
The Designer allows you to completely customize the look of any tool you create by styling its elements.
Each element has a set of properties—such as background, border and font to name a few—that allow you to control the look of each tool.
The styling abilities of the Designer in Web Ministry Tools make it easy to coordinate the look of the tool you’re building to the website on which it will appear. You will probably want most tools to echo your site’s color scheme without blending in so much that they go unnoticed. A “What’s Happening Today” tool on your youth group’s page, however, might need more contrast and bolder colors for an eye-popping effect.
The Styling Process in General
The Designer screen consists of the tool preview and the configure list. The tool preview shows how your tool will look and updates each time you change the styling of an element. The configure list contains the complete list of elements for the tool you are creating and an expandable list of element properties you can style. The list of element properties changes according to which element is currently selected on the configure list.
