Multiple Actionbar styles

Hi
I'm working on an app at the moment that utilises the spark actionbar component. In the visuals that I have for the app - they require multiple Actionbar styles (flat colours) for various sections. Is this possible? I already have a custom actionbar style but can't work out how to make a different one for the various sections.
Any help would be much appreciated.

In Pages (5.5.1) can I create multiple Paragraph Styles within one paragraph?

In Pages (5.5.1) can I create multiple Paragraph Styles within one paragraph.
I need to make a table of contents for my Mater's Thesis and want to use the automatic table of contents feature. I want the first sentence of a paragraph to have a different paragraph setting than the rest of the paragraph. Is this possible?
Thanks!

Nice of you to be doing this for your Mother's Thesis.
There are several issues here:
1. A Paragraph Style is what it says, the style for the paragraph
2. You can format text within a paragraph by applying a Character Style
3. Pages 5.5.1 lets you apply formatting to overall text for the T.O.C. but not parts of it and you can not retain that formatting as a Paragraph style
So in answer to your question, no.
You will need to create the T.O.C. manually and unfortunately as Pages 5.5.1 can't create bookmarks (just one of over 100 missing features) you will be unable to link the T.O.C. to the referred pages in the list.

Combining multiple Character Styles

I'd like to apply multiple character styles to the same words. However, this does not seem possible. One character styles always overrides the other. Please see the attached image for a visualization.
I tried Shift-clicking both styles to apply them, without success. I guess either I'm missing something quite obvious, or this is not possible?

I don't see why not? If you are a bit into webdesign, you may be familiar with CSS. Here is how you would combine multiple styles onto certain words.
.red { color:red; }
.underline { text-decoration:underline; }
<p>HTML paragraph with some <span class="red underline">red+underlined</span> text.</p>
CSS rules have a clear order of application (the "cascade"), so if there's any disagreement between rules applied to a given bit of HTML, the rule applied last "wins" by overruling any applied earlier.
Unlike CSS classes, InDesign styles are not applied in any obvious order, so if more than one style could be applied to a given bit of text, there would have to be some way of ordering them so that disagreements between them could be resolved.
The "based on" hierarchy of styles prevents style conflicts independently of any given bit of text. The ability to apply more than one style to a given bit of text would necessitate the introduction of a further ordering relation, one that applies only to the given bit of text.
That could make things very complicated, and its effects would propagate into scripting, de-bugging, and so on. It wouldn't be just InDesign that had to get it right -- the poor befuddled user would too!
Although I was kidding when I mentioned Russell's theory of types (and amused by the Peter Cook & Dudley Moore parody) I was gesturing vaguely towards the idea that there are some general/logical constraints on classification that go beyond individual applications such as InDesign.
In general, the least problematic ways of classifying things use categories that are either disjoint or else ranked in a "containment" hierarchy. This is can be seen in many areas of life. For example, an animal can be a member of species A and genus X, but it cannot be a member of both species A and species B, nor a member of both genus X and genus Y. The syntax of XML reflects all similar ways of classifying things, and that is one of the reasons why it is so powerful.

Multiple link styles

I have multiple link styles defined for a site, the links in the left column should underline on hover - I defined the style sheet a couple of months ago and it works. Here's the problem, I created a new page and added the link - it won't underline on hover. I have tried removing the style, adding the link, adding back the style, applying the style to just that one link, for some reason no matter what I try that one link won't take the style. Makes no sense to me. I have the same problem on another site - any help would be greatly appreciated!
this is the page: www.yhpark.com/gallery.html
and how I defined the link style:
.LeftColNav a:link {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #3F3F3F;
text-decoration: none;
text-align: LEFT;
.LeftColNav a:visited {
color: #3f3f3f;
text-decoration: none;
.LeftColNav a:active {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #3f3f3f;
text-decoration: none;
.LeftColNav a:hover {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #3f3f3f;
text-decoration: underline;

Multiple paragraph styles in one line

I'm creating a training manual and I am having trouble with paragraph styles. Here's an example of what I am trying to do:
"The Dog walks up the hill"
In the above example, I have created a style for the bolded text and connected it my table of contents. The idea is when I create and update the TOC, "The Dog" will be the entry with the remaining text omitted from the TOC. The issue I am having is because the text is on one line, I cannot have multiple styles. I've tried writing just "The Dog" and then either changing the style or deleting the paragraph break to connect the text below to the main line. Once I erase the paragraph break and the text is on one line, only ONE style is maintained. Now, I can modify the character style; however, because the paragraph style is still the one connected to the TOC, the entire paragraph appears in the TOC.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I've searched everywhere to no avail.
Thank you very much for your support.

It depends on the breed of dog.
Is the paragraph always a single line?
Is this dog the leader of the pack? IE, does the phrase you want to keep always begin the paragraph? If so, then you can separate the dog from the pack in the TOC. One way is to surround the pack with a unique character or marker in the main text, like End Nested Style Here, - one after dog, and another after hill, and create a paragraph style for the doggie paragraph to use in the TOC. This paragraph should contain a nested character style that applies microscopic text properties, like paper character color, font .1pt, and horizontal scale .1%. The TOC entries should use nested paragraph styles; the source paragraphs need you to insert the End Nested Style Here markers. The nested style definition in the TOC paragraph styles should apply no character style through the first end nested style marker, then apply microscopic through the next end nested style marker. This will shrink the walks...hill text to an invisible speck, so small that it shouldn't interfere with tab leaders and page-references.
Another approach is to use a single-row table for the heading, with the dog pent nicely in the left cell, and the pack in the right cell. Each cell contains a paragraph, so only extract the dog to the TOC.
Search Google for terms like "InDesign hide part of paragraph in toc knowhowpro," "InDesign suppress part of paragraph in contents knowhowpro," "InDesign two paragraph styles on one line," and similar phrases without quotes for some good discussions and a variety of approaches that include layers, anchored frames, and conditional text.

Multiple Paragraph Styles / "Add-On" Styles

Not exactly sure how to clearly describe what I'm after but I'd love to see if Adobe could incorporate this feature.
I'd love to have an "add on" style where I could apply a paragraph style and any number of "add on" paragraph styles to it.
For example, say I have three different styles and I need to have the same styles but with a different size. That would require me creating six styles. I'd love to be able to set a style and then an "add on style" for the size, which would reduce the number of styles I had to define, so in this case, the three styles and a fourth "add on style" for the size.
In some cases like the one above I can use character styles but in a specific document I'm after I have several different paragraph styles requiring different "space after" amounts and I have to define many styles than I'd ideally like. Also it would be useful to be able to just click into the paragraph and add "add-on" styles to it.
Your thoughts?
R

For me more important would be the user defined grid unit which could be used as the unit in defining interline, space before, space after etc.
For example You have the layout based on interline baseline grid equal to 14 pt. So every space before, space after etc. you define as the part of you grid, for example 14/2 pt or 14/3 pt ect.
When you decide to change inteline grid form 14 pt to 13.5 pt you must change every space after, and every interline etc. manually.
If you will have the a gid unit and ability to define interline and spacing as a part or as a multiplication of the grid unit it would be only one shot to change all layout.

Problem: How to use multiple layers style?

Hello everyone!
Sorry if my English isn't fluent.
Some of photoshop styles have multiple styles icon in style tab that should to use together, I do below steps but it doesn't show effect style as psd file.(in psd file effect style is true but when I do below steps my effect style is not true).
Steps that I do:
1. I insert style from preset manager.
2. I apply first icon style to first layer.
3. Then I duplicate first layer.
4. Then I apply second icon style to duplicated layer.

please help me!
Thanks a lot.

Thanks for getting back to me. My reply may sound lazy, but whoever made these styles should be able to better explain how to use it. It just seems one layer covers the other, and I don't want to guess at the settings.

How do I use multiple paragraph styles in one line?

I'm working on my thesis in APA style. I'm creating a Table of Contents with the help of Pages. When you get to Level 3 in APA headings (no problems with Levels 1 and 2) it needs to look like this:
[0.5in Indent] Masculinities in higher education. For men, the college experience.... (paragraph starts on same line as the heading).
I created a paragraph style for the (bolded) heading above [Heading 3]. When I do this, like magic the heading shows up in the table of contents (yeah!). However when I do this the rest of the paragraph shows up too (boo!). When I highlight to change the just rest of the paragraph (not the heading) to the style "Body" it changes the heading too and removes it from the table of contents. How can I make 2 paragraph styles work together in the same paragraph so I can use the tale of contents tool?? Surly there is a work-around.
Pages 5

As the name implies, paragraph styles are not intended to be used on a unit smaller than a paragraph. Therefore if you want the TOC to be automatically generated then you need to have distinct paragraphs... as you specify the APA style with the content and heading continuous then you will have to manually create the TOC.

How can i give multiple paragraph styles on the same line

i want to give different paragraph style in the same line in an indesign document. bt when i tried it, it is coming in two different line.
actually i am doing a project in which Frame maker document is transformed into indesign document. in frame maker this is possiable, but in indesign i cannot give different paragraph style in the same line of the document.
Is there any way to do this ????

Hi, Yanesh:
Please understand, the FrameMaker feature known as a run-in paragraph, which is a paragraph with a "carriage return" but without a "line feed," HAS NO COUNTERPART in InDesign. InDesign also lacks the FrameMaker side heading feature, which is created by the combination of a reserved area in the text frame and the paragraph property to inhabit that area. FrameMaker separates paragraphs by using the larger of space below paragraph and space above paragraph, but InDesign separates paragraphs by adding the space below paragraph and the space above paragraph.
There are several complicated manual methods of simulating these FrameMaker properties in InDesign.
Here's a recent forum discussion of these exact issues: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3759635#3759635. The thread mentions DTP Tools' conversion tool, the MIF Filter commercial plug-in for InDesign, and discusses its shortcomings. I don't recall it mentioning in-tools.com plug-ins that can simulate side headings, like those in FrameMaker, but they don't convert FrameMaker to InDesign.
You can add your vote for InDesign's developers to include these FrameMaker features, and any others you'd like to see, here: wish.

Can I use stylesheets to create multiple button styles?

I am trying to create a custom look-and-feel within UIX to get it as close as possible to
our existing application's look-and-feel.
As part of this, I customized the UIX button by overriding the following named style:
ButtonServerText
and also by providing my own icons for:
buttonStart
buttonEnd
buttonTopBackground
buttonBottomBackground
The good news is that I was able to get the button component to look exactly like our existing
application buttons.
The bad news is that we have different types of buttons in our application
for different purposes. (i.e. the image used for the button can be completely different based on the context e.g.
yellow button for important actions and light-blue buttons for secondary actions)
It seems like there is no way in which I can use this stylesheet mechanism to create different types of buttons
and use them within my application. (sometimes different types of buttons can appear on the same page)
Please let me know if there is a way.
This is in fact a general question regarding overriding a stylesheet for customizing look-and-feel.
Lets say I customize the "contentContainer" component using the stylesheet. This change would then be global.
But I do want to have different types of contentContainers in the application. I would be forced to create my own custom
UIX elements similar to contentContainer and write my own renderers.
(I know contentContainer does have the light, medium and dark styles. I used this just as an example.)
Please let me know what my options are.
Thanks,
Jayesh Kapoor

Hi Jayesh -
The good news is that I was able to get the button
component to look exactly like our existing
application buttons.Cool - I'm glad to hear you were able to get this working!
The bad news is that we have different types of
buttons in our applicationRight. This is a fundamental limitation of our look and feel customization functionality - we only support global customizations, not instance-specific customizations. I agree that there are many cases where instance-level customization would be useful, but this just instance supported yet.
The only solution that I can think of for your button dilemma would be to use static images. It's pretty easy to wire up an image to behave like a button - just embed the image in a link and use <fireAction> as the link's primaryClientAction.
Obviously, the downside of this approach is that you need to create the button images manually - which also isn't ideal if you are planning to translate your applications. One possible solution here might be to use UIX to pre-generate your button images. The idea would be to create custom LAFs for each style of button, then create a UIX page for each button style, including <button> instances for each translated value. Then, you could configure UIX to run in the desired look and feel, hit the corresponding page, and UIX will generate the required buttons into your image cache. Again, not ideal, but this might be easier than creating the buttons by hand.
This is in fact a general question regarding
overriding a stylesheet for customizing
look-and-feel.
Lets say I customize the "contentContainer" component
using the stylesheet. This change would then be
global.
But I do want to have different types of
contentContainers in the application. I would be
forced to create my own custom
UIX elements similar to contentContainer and write my
own renderers.Right - this is a generic problem. But for some components, like content containers, an easier solution might be to leverage UIX's templating mechanism. Remember, you can embed arbitrary HTML contents in a UIX page/template by setting the namespace to "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40". You can then reference these templates from your other UIX contents as if they were in fact UIX components. I'd recommend that you explore UIX's template support to see if this will meet your needs.

How to apply multiple paragraph styles to one sentence?

I'm using paragraph styles but is not helpful because I'm trying to apply 2 different styles within the same sentence which is not working.
To make it work I select the sentence, apply the style, for instance "xfont-regular" then I select the word within the sentence that I want it to have a different style and I choose from the font list maybe italic so that it looks "something like this"
Obviously by doing this, I'm loosing all the benefits of using p styles and of course it's so time consuming. Is there any way to break the sentence, keeping it in the same line, so that I can apply different styles to it? and still keep the benefits of just going to the styles and make the changes to the whole document that have that style applied.
Thank you

As Diane King mentioned, nested character styles may work for your need. Her example was an initial dropped capital (multi-line first one or several letters of a paragraph.) Dropped caps are a specific type of nested style - always the first one or more characters in a paragraph, two or more lines high.
To use the general kind of nested style, you need to be able to identify the word or words within the paragraph that gets the nested character style. For example, the third word, or the first two words after the first semi-colon. If there is no pattern of word(s) that can be identified by position or sequence, it's possible that a GREP style can be used to find a common pattern of characters and apply a character style to it, for example a telephone number, date, or currency amount that's identified by a dollar sign, pound, or yuan.
Search InDesign Help and Google for "InDesign nested style," "InDesign grep style," and similar terms (without quotes) for details. There have been many discussions of GREP on this forum.

Multiple paragraph styles within one cell?

Maybe I'm missing something real simple but I'm having a bit of an issue with styles. What I'm trying to do is have the name of a tool in one paragraph style and the description (separated from the name by "-") in another paragraph style - all within the same cell of a table. Instead, when I try to change styles it changes all text within the cell. Even if I go back and highlight the tool name and change it to a different style than the description it changes all text including what is not highlighted. If anyone has a solution I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks, Dave! Nested styles works perfectly. I figured the solution would've been something simple like this.

How can I merge layers with multiple layer styles added to them?

So I have this issue where I have to merge lots of layers in order to finish the job. Thing is that two of them have layer styles added to them. Each one has two different layers styles added to it. If I try to merge the layers, the effect won't stay the same and only one layer style will apply (and not even this one works correctly). Is there any cure for this? Thank you!

Here is how it looks before I merge the layers.
And here is how it looks after I merge the layers.
Why won't it stay the same?
