Exercise 11.8: Changing the text color

Before you begin, you must complete Exercise 11.7: Adding moving text to the page.

You notice that the Text color and the background are not easy to distinguish from each other. One way of changing this, is to apply another color to a certain area of the text. To do that you return to the Design page.

To change the text color:

  1. Click the Design tab.
    Selecting color choice for selected text area
  2. Select the company text (IBM) you want to change color on, by selecting the text area with the mouse cursor.
  3. Under the Design page, select the Colors tab.
  4. In the Colors view, select a color with your mouse cursor.
  5. Click the down arrow next to the Text Color from the Colors view.
  6. Click Set as Text Color on the pop-up menu.

    You are done; now the selected text will be displayed with the color you selected for it.

You have changed the color of the window title and now you are ready to begin Exercise 11.9: Deleting default text from the page.
