Using palettes


Adobe GoLive features several palettes that you can use to perform a variety of tasks, including adding objects to your Web pages, setting attributes for those objects, and coloring objects. When you first start Adobe GoLive, several palettes are displayed by default in several groups. You can choose to hide and display palettes as you work. You can also move palettes between groups, move palettes to their own windows, or resize palettes to make better use of your work area.

To show a palette and any palettes in its group:

Choose the palette's name from the Window menu.

  • Click the close box in the upper right (Windows) or upper left (Mac OS) corner of the group window.
  • If needed, bring the palette to the front of its group by clicking its name in the group or choosing its name from the Window menu. (A check mark next to the palette's name in the Window menu indicates that the palette is at the front of its group.) Then choose the palette's name from the Window menu.
