Automatic color ranges in lists

By Tim Hards | December 11, 2007

Continuing the description of Perspector list properties:

When Automatic Color Range is ON, lists are automatically colored with a range of colors from the first item to the last item. This setting is used whenever the colors of the first or last item are manually changed.

The following examples show the result of manually changing the fill color of the last item to white, with and without Automatic Color Range enabled.

The list on the left is the original list.

The list in the middle had the Automatic Color Range turned OFF. The colors of the other items were unchanged when the last item was modified.

The list on the right had the Automatic Color Range turned ON. When the last item was changed, all of the other items were automatically changed to range from blue (the first item) to white (the modified last item).

Lists with Automatic Color Range OFF and ON

Note that in both of these examples, the text color used has automatically changed on some of the items so that the text is readable. However this can be overridden by setting the font color if required.
