that these options are disabled for the Art Media tools, which use

only solid colors.

• Texture button — turns the current texture on or off

• Set to Black and White button — sets the foreground to black

and the background to white. This is helpful when you use the

Edit Selection command.

• Transparent button — specifies whether the foreground or

background material is transparent. You use a transparent

material primarily with vector objects and text. A transparent

foreground has no outline (only the objects or letters are filled),

and a transparent background has no fill (only the objects or

letters are outlined). This button is unavailable for tools that

require a foreground or background material.

• All tools check box — specifies whether the selected foreground

and background materials apply to all tools. If the check box is

unmarked, the selected materials apply only to the active tool.

Why does the Materials palette have both properties and color boxes?

You can select colors by clicking the Foreground and Background

Properties boxes, so you may wonder why the Materials palette also

includes color boxes. The color boxes provide a quick way to change

colors without changing the other materials. This means that you can

select a new color even when the properties box displays a gradient or

pattern.

If the properties boxes and the color boxes on the Materials palette are

showing different colors, the brush paints with the gradient, texture,

or pattern shown in the properties boxes rather than with the color in

the color boxes. The colors shown in the color boxes become active

when you select Color from the Style buttons for the Foreground

and Background Properties boxes.
