Setting the properties of color palettes

Your application offers you the option of customizing 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 set the fill color. You can also adjust the color swatch border and size.

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 color palette border, and drag the color palette away from the edge of the application window.
Change the number of rows on a docked color palette	In the top left corner of the Document 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 then typing a value in the Maximum palette rows when docked box. You can set a maximum of seven rows on a color palette.
