Border for a show

[davegee]

Igor,

There is (and always has been) a demand amongst users of PTE for a method of putting a Border around slides in a slide show of variable size and colour.

Many workarounds exist and they are good workarounds. I use them regularly. But isn't it time that PTE had its own means of putting a Border on a whole Slide Show without the need for copying a png from slide to slide or resorting to workarounds in the Watermark Option?

The facility could sit alongside the Watermark option in Project Options/Advanced Tab and its controls should include:

1 Width of Line/Border in Pixels/Percent

2. Colour of Line/Border

There is also the need to be able to turn that Border off for Specific Slides e.g. Introductory and Ending Slides etc

That facility could reside in Slide Options.

I hope that you will be able to offer some hope of this becoming a reality.

So something like the individual slide's "adjust image and borders" menu pops up in the slide list and is applied to selected slides? That sounds good to me...

Yes, that is something worthwhile. Add a thin line or even a distressed edge to all or the chosen images in a show.

Lin,

Something like the "image and border" tool which acts globally. But the "image and border" tool is too clumsy in that it puts a border on the outside of an object and necessitates a "compensation" via the canvas settings. A simple line or border inside the confines of the Slide sitting on top of all other objects set globally with the ability to switch it off on a slide by slide basis is what I would like to see.

Barry, 

Yes, it could be developed to produce distressed edges and other effects such as Black/White/Black etc.

You have summed it up pretty well in that paragraph above

I am not suggesting this as a workaround but as a question.

Why not use a custom style? Is it because lack of adjustment after being applied?

Styles are not additive - you could apply it as PART of another Style.

But if you try to apply it as a single operation style it would negate all other animations and any other styles in particular.
