I. Creating your table design
Previous  Top  Next

1. Start EZRound. When the program opens you will be at the Design menu and the Shapes option.

2. Select the shape of the table. Your choices are:
·Round corner rectangle  
·Square on all sides  
·Square on top (round on other sides)  
·Square on bottom (round on other sides)  
·Square on left (round on other sides)  
·Square on right (round on other sides)  
 
Round Corner Size: You can set the size of the round corner using this option. Big corners are very pronounced and make a dramatic statement, smaller ones are more subtle and classic in design.  
 
There is a button on the bottom of the page that will save these values as the default settings to be used when creating a new table design.

3. Click the Shadows button

4. Select the type of shadow for the table you are creating. Your choices are:
·No shadow - use this option to create a "flat" table  
·Full shadow - there is a shadow all around the table  
·Northwest - the shadow is on the upper left of the table  
·Northeast - the shadow is on the upper right of the table  
·Southwest - the shadow is on the lower left of the table  
·Southeast - the shadow is on the lower right of the table  
 
Shadow Width: This setting controls how far the shadow extends away from the table edge.  
Shadow Density: This setting controls the amount of blur in the shadow color.  
Shadow Padding: This setting controls the spacing between the outer edge of the shadow and the outer boundary of the graphics image. Use this setting to "push" the shadow inward (increase shadow width if necessary). This setting makes sure that the blurred edge of your shadow is not cut off from the edge of the table.  
Background Padding: This setting is used to add spacing between your table and other elements on your web page.  
 
There is a button on the bottom of the page that will save these values as the default settings to be used when creating a new table design.

5. Select the Colors button

6. Set the colors for the design. You can set these colors:
·Table Color - this is the foreground color of your table design  
·Background Color - this is the color of the web page where your table will reside.  
·Background Color is Transparent - this option should only be used if you are using a wallpaper on your web page. The shadow (and other) effects will render better if you supply the actual color used for your web page and let EZRound blend the colors for you.  
·Shadow Color - this is the color of the shadow (if any)  
·Accent Color - this is the color of the accent band (if any) for the design.  
 
All colors can be selected with a drop down color picker control, or you can type in the actual HTML web color (such as #FFFFFF for White). This makes it easy for you to do perfect color matching.  
 
There is a button on the bottom of the page that will save these values as the default settings to be used when creating a new table design.

7. Select the Accent button

8. Check the "Add Accent Color Band" box if you want to add a band of color around your design. This can create a really nice effect and do a lot to dress up your table design. It can be as simple as using the background color again with a thin accent band to dress up a table, or as bold as a wide contrasting color. You are in total control.

Accent Width: This setting controls the width of the color band.  
Accent Padding: This setting controls how far in the band is from the edge of the table design.
