Styling a layout

Updated on February 7, 2022

Customize the appearance of your interface by attaching style formats to layouts. Layout style formats contain settings that define the look of section elements such as borders, backgrounds, and text. By using out-of-the-box or custom style formats throughout your application, you can create a consistent user interface with less effort.

  1. In the navigation pane of Dev Studio, click Records.

  2. Expand the User Interface category, and then click Section.

  3. Open the section whose layout you want to edit.

  4. Attach the style format to the layout:

    4. In the field that appears, select the style format for the region.

    Non-templated section
    1. On the Design tab, click the section that you want to style, and then click the View properties icon.
