The Base Settings tab sets the style for container or layout selected in the component styles tab.

  Select the font family.

• Base tag heading styles

  Headings refer to a page or a section of a page, are important to HTML structure, and mandatory for accessibility.

• Background

  Specify the background style.

• Layout

  Specify the width of the padding in pixels.

  Use the skin to specify the presentation of your content. You can style all presentation elements of your interface in the skin, including typography, borders, backgrounds, layouts, and the placement and alignment of elements.

• Skin rules - Completing the Create or Save As form

  Create a skin or update an existing one to specify the presentation aspects of your application.

• More about Skin rules

  To ensure uniform styles throughout your application, create and maintain styles through the Skin rule.

• Mixins tab of the Skin rules form

  Use the Mixins tab to define mixins (reusable style patterns). Mixins can define a reusable typography, border, or background style, or a style that is a combination of these styles. Using mixins helps ensure consistency across your user interface, maximize re-use, and minimize future maintenance.

  Use the Component styles tab to define the presentation of components by creating custom style formats. After you define style formats, reference them on property panes for sections, harnesses, and controls.
