Hi

Is it possible (if so, how) to have a Page Properties > Style > Image, so automatically have some king of fading applied?

TIA

The page background does not support overlays.
But it is possible with layer and layout grid backgrounds.

OK, thanks. Sorry to tag onto this but can I set a text border (not a box), ie red text with a black border. Thought I could do it in styles but can't see how. Thanks.

This is also possible with a layer or layout gird.

Are you referring to adding a 'stroke' to text?

I'm sorry, I thought you were referring to the object border.
To add a border around characters you can use the 'text art' object.

But Text Art isn't responsive (is it?) TIA

If you set the output format to 'SVG' then the object is flexible when used inside a layout grid.

It can be done using WebKit Custom Styles but I have had mixed results so no bothered with it. You can of course get a decent enough look just by using the Style Manager and set a 'Shadow'. If you want to try it, do this:

1. Select Tools>Style Manager
2. Click Add
3. Click 'Custom Styles' (top option)
4. Paste the below text in
5. Save it and apply to your text.

NOTE: WWB won't render this in the editor but it does show in the browser OK

color: black;
-webkit-text-fill-color: white; /* Will override color (regardless of order) */
-webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px;
-webkit-text-stroke-color: black;


Have a tinker with the colours and px values.

Cheers
