A preview of the currently selected format displays to the right. You can also preview formats by selecting Actions > Launch in the toolbar and then choosing one of the following preview options: Run Process, Open Portal, Harness Preview, UI Gallery Preview, Skin Preview.

Border

Applies to the border of the container. Displays outside the body border, if a border is defined on the Body tab.

Use mixin

Select this option to use a mixin to define the appearance of this element. The Mixin field displays the name and a preview of the currently selected mixin.

If desired, you can specify the Top, Left, Right, or Bottom border as none, solid, dashed, or dotted , rather than inheriting the style from the selected mixin.

Specify styles

Select to define a custom border:

  • Apply to all sides — Select this check box to specify the same border style to the top, left, right, and bottom borders. Choose from none, solid, dashed, or dotted.
  • If you clear the Apply to all sides check box, select a border style for the Top, Left, Right, and Bottom borders. For each of these borders, you can select none, solid, dashed, or dotted. Specify the pixel width and color of the border, if applicable.

Background

Applies to the background of the container. Background styles set on the Header and Body tabs override the Background style set here, on the Outline tab. However, if the Background style on the Header tab is set to none, then the header uses the Background style specified here.

Use mixin

Select this option to use a mixin to define the appearance of this element. The Mixin field displays the name and a preview of the currently selected mixin.

    • Tile — Specify tile settings for the image. Select None if you want to use a single image; Horizontal if you want a row of images in the background; Vertical, if you want a column of images in the background, or Both, if you want rows and columns containing the image in the background.
    • Position — Specify the placement of the starting tiled image, for example, top left.
