You can change the formatting of lines in a grid report, such as cell borders and report borders, using the Color and Lines tab of the Format: Template dialog box. (If DHTML is disabled, you use the Format panel.)
Specify the attribute or metric values, subtotals, or headers to format. Then format your selection by choosing from the following options:
Fill: Specify a background to fill the
selected component:
Note: If DHTML is disabled, you cannot create custom colors
or apply gradients.
Color: Select a fill color by clicking the arrow on the color menu.
Gradients: Click to apply a color gradient, which is a combination of two colors. In the Gradients dialog box, select the two colors to use for the gradient. Then select a shading style to determine the direction in which the two colors are blended together.
Borders: Select the type of border to display around the selected cells.
None: No borders appear around the selected cells. This is the default setting.
All: Borders surround the selected cells on all sides. After selecting this option, select a line style from the drop-down list and select a color.
3D: A 3-dimensional border appears on all sides of the selected object.
Weight: Determine the width of the 3D effect. Type a higher number to apply a wider, more visible 3D effect to the borders, or a lower number to apply a narrower effect.
Effect: Determine whether the 3D borders appear raised or lowered.
Custom: Determine whether the left, right, top, and bottom borders are displayed, and if so, the type of line and color used for each border.
Enable drop shadow: Determine whether or not a drop shadow is applied next to the borders. Use the slider to determine the depth of the drop shadow.
