Style and color 

HammerKit provides complete design freedom to define the precise look and feel of your web site. The style and color management in HammerKit is designed to offer you the ability to create standards compliant cascading stylesheets that render correctly in every standards compliant browser. This is achieved using two principle tools: 

The Style Manager - the tool used to create cascading stylesheets that conform with the  current CSS 2.1 standard and; 

The Color Manager - this tool provides a place to create and manage the colors and color palettes you would like to use in your web site or service 
The styles and colors that are created are then used

 

Setting the style inside an element 

Every element has its own style settings and you can set the style for an element directly by editing the style from the element properties. 

To access the style settings:

choose the style tab from the properties box that appears when you add an element or; 
right-click an element on the canvas and select properties, then select the style tab. 

The style setting in the element provide the same choices as in the style and colour managers. The benefit of using the style or colour managers, however, is that you can create style classes and standard colours that can be applied to more than one element. When you change the style or the colour in the manager, it will automatically apply to all of the elements that use it. 

You can also use CSS3 styles using the property list facility. This allows you to add CSS3 styles and use them in your site. At present (July 2010), however, not all browsers support CSS3 fully, so we have elected to stay with CSS2.1 for the current version of HammerKit. 
Full CSS3 support will be rolled out in due course.
