BlueDolphin offers pre-defined colors to give your objects and shapes in views a color in a balanced way.
To create a good coherence, we provide depth and different grades for the same color setting.

Color codes

Continue using a custom color

It could be the case that you want to continue using the colors you used before, but that are not available anymore. You can continue using these colors by means of the color code. To find the color code of a certain object, click on the desired object and then select the bucket. The code is marked in the screenshot below.

Opacity

To help you create a better visual representation of elements on your canvas, BlueDolphin supports setting the opacity for:

  • Objects

  • Free shapes

  • Texts

  • Lines and

  • Relationships

This feature allows you to display layering and other visual cues that may be valuable when creating

views. You can set the opacity of each element on your canvas in the color editor.

To access the color editor of an object, a free shape or a text, click the element and then click the background color editor icon Edit_object_color_icon.png.

To access the color editor of a line or a relationship, right-click the element and click Edit link color.

Opacity slider can be found in the lower right corner of the editor.

Set the opacity to a value between 0% and 100% and confirm by clicking OK.

Tips: When an element is copied onto the canvas, the new element will have the same opacity as the source element.

When selecting multiple items on the canvas, you can set the opacity for all selected items at the same time. However, the functionality is not supported for group objects.
