Extended Themes

Version 2.5 of the Text Box Decoration Action introduced two new theme variants. Up until now, themes have assumed a 3x3 table grid (see diagram here). The Action now introduces a 5x5 grid and a 7x7 grid. This greatly enhances the output of the Action, as you can have corner pieces and central bosses on your frames. Thankfully, the Action can do all the work of setting files and dimensions, so you can get using your new theme as quickly as possible.

5x5 Themes

The 5x5 theme introduces an extra table cell at each corner of the table cell. There is a naming convention for the images, which allow the auto theme set-up feature to work. as long as you stick to this convention, you need only select one file. Items labelled RED help define the dimensions used by the Action. You can use JPEG, GIF, JPG or PNG as file extensions.

7x7 Themes

The 7x7 theme builds on the 5x5 theme by introducing central bosses to each side of the table. There is a naming convention for the images, which allow the auto theme set-up feature to work. as long as you stick to this convention, you need only select one file. Items labelled RED help define the dimensions used by the Action. You can use JPEG, GIF, JPG or PNG as file extensions.
