Applying Graphic Styles
The Graphic Styles panel allows you to create, save, and apply graphic styles. A graphic
style is a collection of attributes that can be applied to a layer, sublayer, group, or object.
Graphic styles are similar in nature to character or paragraph styles. From the Graphic
Styles panel, you have access to a host of graphic style libraries—including Vonster's Pat-
tern Styles (

), designed by Von Glitschka—from which to choose a style. You can
view styles for graphics and text. Not sure how a style will look? Now you can preview a
thumbnail before you apply it. If you still don't like it after you apply it, you can remove it
without affecting the underlying path. When you apply a graphic style to a layer or group,
the style is applied to all objects on it.
