Rounded Decoration Frames
Rounded Decoration Frames
I am creating a page layout and want to use a shape at the top to appear behind the running header. Previously, in FrameMaker, my department was using a shape that had square edges on the top left and top right corners, but used rounded edges on the bottom left and bottom right corners. Is there a way to recreate this shape in Flare? So far, I have only seen the option to add square frames within the page layout editor.

Re: Rounded Decoration Frames
I believe this is what you're looking for. You can set the corner radius individually or all at once, either when editing the image (as shown below) or through the stylesheet entry for img.

Are you using Flare 10? My Frame Properties menu only has a tab for "Borders" and I not have an edit field for the Border Radius. Looks like it's time to upgrade!

Re: Rounded Decoration Frames
Yes, I am using Flare 10.1. Unfortunately, I don't have v9 installed as I recently switched to a new computer here at work, or I would do a little more investigation.

Re: Rounded Decoration Frames
Can you go into the CSS and change this? For example:
border: solid 1px #000000;
border-bottom-radius: 10px;
or individually:
border: solid 1px #000000;
border-top-left-radius: 6px;
border-top-right-radius: 6px;
border-bottom-left-radius: 6px;
border-bottom-right-radius: 6px;
border: solid 1px #000000;
border-bottom-radius: 10px;
or individually:
border: solid 1px #000000;
border-top-left-radius: 6px;
border-top-right-radius: 6px;
border-bottom-left-radius: 6px;
border-bottom-right-radius: 6px;

Re: Rounded Decoration Frames
Note that page layouts don't use a CSS file - the frame properties are set in the XML flpgl file.
I wouldn't expect a manual edit in v9 to work though.

Re: Rounded Decoration Frames
You're right. I was able to manually edit the .flpgl borders in the Flare 10 text editor, but the same changes did not apply when I tried them in Flare 9.
