Printing Theme

Filed Under Themes | 18 Comments

Long time – no Theme. I did publish a tutorial about theme creation, but it might be scary for many people. I also haven’t heard any success stories, so when I finally got a request for a Theme, I happily obliged. And here it is for all users to enjoy.

It’s actually a themePack file with two variations of the same idea: both are for printing purposes – your Forms will look like regular text documents. The fonts of the “Printing” Theme are true black with no transparency and in five popular sizes (Times: 12-14-18-24-36). I also matched the 12 pt. size for the medium size of the field label font (Arial). Additionally, I removed the Media field border. An empty Media field still shows a border, but once it has content, the border disappears. The borders for the text (number) fields you can turn off yourself – from the View menu.

When you get to the Print dialog, still check the box “don’t print background,” because the background isn’t true white.

And here comes the clue: the second Theme variation (I call it “Invisible”) sets the Field Label font color to true white, which makes your field labels disappear and invisible on the print-out! This feature had been requested before, and I would like to give full credit to my friend Barb for the idea.

Neutral Theme Version 2

Filed Under Themes | 6 Comments

NOTE: This theme has been superseded by Partick’s Neutral Theme Pack.

Patrick La Roque has created a theme which he has called Neutral, so named because it is designed to be clean and neutral. It uses Helvetica for the font and the colour scheme is whites and grays — no purple streak or Comic Sans.

Neutral Theme

The theme is available from Patrick’s web site as a free download and you can find it at http://www.diode.tv/neutral.
