I am newbie in Powerpoint and have a very weird problem. Is it possible somehow to add my own shape styles to Quick Styles? If I choose one of presets and then change something (color fill for example) this style is not anymore linked to quick style. And I can't find how to add on my own. And delete all that I don't need.
Any thoughts how to achieve that? I want to create my own shape styles. And link them all over the presentation in order to change quickly color schemes of all elements in presentation. I want to change one linked style to automatic apply to all shapes. Is it possible somehow?
Thanks,
Peter
We are building a PowerPoint add-in to do that. You are able to create styles (and select the attributes like color position etc.) then store them to a Library for later use / sharing. Let me know if you are interested to test the current version.

I am not sure if Revit is part of the Stackoverflow community but it seems that the Tag already existed so I decided to give it a try.
I have created a section of my 3D model. In order to export it as a PDF, I have created a new sheet and I have dragged a 2D of a section onto the sheet.
On top of the 2D section I needed to add some elements as filled areas with different hatches. When I check the areas on Revit, they are shown with a non transparent background (the section's lines of a 2D drawing are not visible behind), nevertheless when exporting it to a PDF the areas are transparent and I can see the section lines through them.
When checking the settings configurations for transparency filled areas the value is set to 0. Therefore, I would have expected not to have any difference between the Revit view and the PDF version (meaning non transparent background)
Am I missing something?
The StackOverflow tag is actually revit-api, standing for the Revit API, the built-in .NET programming interface. The API wraps the UI for automation purposes. Do you know how to achieve what you need manually through the end user interface? If so, that knowledge will be very helpful to determine how to achieve the same programmatically. If not, it can probably not be achieved programmatically either. The best place to raise a question to determine how to achieve the desired result manually in the user interface is the generic Revit Architecture discussion forum.
Does anyone know if you can change the color of the text for specific items in a dropdown list in Adobe's extendscript ScriptUI? I know about the color section of the Script UI guide, however that says nothing about list items and I tried a few things by chance but wasn't able to find a solution.
The ScriptUI is converted to HTML5/CSS behind the scenes. Because the CSS is not exposed to the user, it is not possible to change any of the colour schemes.
You can use images for buttons to add colour to them, but that wouldn't apply to dropdowns.
I'm not certain about the other Adobe programs, but I know that creating an extension (as opposed to a script) for After Effects is a way of circumventing this restriction.
I need to add arrows like this on my document or powerpoint. How can I do this? Do you recommend an image or is there a way to add custom arrows?
One approach might be to find characters that look like that.
For example, this search was helpful: https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/block/geometric_shapes/list.htm
Edit: I just tried pasting U+25BC from that page into a new Powerpoint slide (in the title field) and got a down arrow (▼). I'm pretty confident that can be made to work in python-pptx.
The icon I am looking for is pretty unique, so I think I'm going to have to create my own. (I'm looking for an icon of a closed door) I found a PNG file similar to what I need, but I need to figure out a way to integrate it with the material ui font icon.
Is there a way to create the js file for it, similar to the ones that exist? Like this one: https://github.com/callemall/material-ui/blob/master/src/svg-icons/action/accessibility.js
I don't know where the "path" comes from, does anyone know?
Thanks in advance!
Those were created using design tools specifically created for this purpose. Creating path based SVG Icons will take a bit more time if you're unexperienced in the field, however it is most likely you can create your own with some free online tools and a bit of patience.
Once you did (the data doesn't necessarily have to be in path format for the SVG, you can create any valid SVG using the available syntax and attributes which you can find info about right here), you can simply replicate one of those JS files and import / export them wherever applicable and use it in a similar fashion as you would any Material UI one.
Such an online tool could be this one for creating what you need:

For the main menu, I want the first four links to be blue, and specifically the last four links to be yellow. There will only be eight menu items.
I was thinking of hard coding the yellow links into the menu div, and that way when the page loads the first four menu items (default colour blue) they will be blue, and then my hard-coded links of yellow would load up.
My question is, where can I add the "yellow" code? Where can I hard code my yellow menu items? Or is there a different, better, approach to this?
My first question would be which men u are you implementing? A lot of them have a menuitem_x sort of id that is applied to the menu markup so with the CSS you can do what you want
As for where to place the markup there are a few places
You can do it directly in the skin files (not suggested since you may have to edit a few files)
in the skin .css files (much better place to do it and more maintainable and portable)
in the admin go to Site Settings and use the stylesheet editor to add the classes to the portal stylesheet (better than #1 but not as good as #2 since its now specific to the portal and not the skin so it wont be as portable)
Number 3 - works good if you dont have access to the skin or dont want to change it for other reasons
You could use Javascript within the skin.
We have done simular in the past for DNN menus but i keep away from the skinning side so dont have any examples, sorry.
Google does though :)
I would use one of the specific SEO friendly DNN menu modules that generate clean code that can be followed by search engines. I usually use one of them, except for projects where I don't have SEO concerns. When you have a menu with clean markup, like a list, you can change the colors using jQuery and specifying the first four items. You can probably do it like this, one by one. There may be a better selector for grabbing the first four items which is something I have never used.
Solved it, not as dynamic as I'd like, but it works.
The way I've done it is I'm playing with id tags, rather than class tags. Using ID, I can pick out the individual menu items and apply CSS to them.
Essentially, it looks like I've done what 'codemypantsoff' suggested. Thanks!
