Setting the properties of color palettes

You can customize color palettes.

Color palettes can be either docked or floating. Docking a color palette attaches it to the edge of the application window. Undocking a color palette pulls it away from the edge of the application window, so it floats and can be easily moved around.

With color swatches, you can set the right mouse button either to display a context menu or to set the outline color. You can also adjust the color swatch border and size, and you can hide or display the No color well.

To dock or undock a color palette

To	Do the following
Dock a color palette	Click the top of the color palette border, and drag the color palette to any edge of the application window until a thin black toolbar outline appears.
Undock a color palette	Click the dotted border of the color palette, and drag the color palette away from the edge of the application window.
Change the number of rows on a docked color palette	On the palette, click the flyout button , click Rows, and choose an option from the list.

You can also change the number of rows on a docked color palette by clicking Tools Customization, clicking Color palette in the Customization list of categories, and typing a value in the Maximum palette rows when docked box. You can set a maximum of seven rows on a color palette.

To set the action of the right mouse button for color swatches

1 .	Click Tools Customization.

If you enable Set outline color, you can still display the context menu by right-clicking anywhere on the border of a color palette.
