Setting Colors

Throughout Intellek Create, there are opportunities to set colors for instruction text, the instruction frame Header bar, and the instruction frame background. Additionally, colors can be used in the Style Manager to identify titles, terms, learner actions, etc. When available, click the eye-dropper icon next to the color to be set. The Color Picker dialog box for setting colors is the same, except for the Formatting toolbar. Colors can be set using either Hex codes or RGB coordinates.
