Changing the border of a text box or shape

If you add a shape to a webpage from the Shapes menu (in the toolbar at the bottom of the iWeb window), you can change its border’s line style, width, and color.

You can use the same controls to add visible, decorative borders to text boxes.

To change the border of a text box or shape:

  1. On your webpage, select the text box or shape you want to modify by clicking it.

  2. If the Graphic inspector isn’t open, click the Inspector button in the toolbar at the bottom of the iWeb window (or choose View > Show Inspector), and then click the Graphic button.

  3. Image of the Graphic Inspector button.
  4. Choose Line or Picture Frame from the Stroke pop-up menu.

  5. Note:If you add a picture frame to a non-square shape (such as a circle or triangle), the frame appears as a square or rectangle around the shape.

  6. Do one of the following:

    • If you chose Line, choose the style of line you want. Click the color well (by default, it appears black until you change it), and then select a color in the Colors window. To change the line width, choose a point size from the pop-up menu to the right of the color well.

    • If you chose Picture Frame, click the blue box, choose the style you want, and then drag the slider left or right to modify the thickness of the frame.
