Style tables and elements
Change label, background, and border colors, move an element's text around it, hide table text or seat names, and copy styling from one element to another in a click.
Select a table or area and a small floating toolbar appears above it with quick styling controls. Rows of seats have a similar toolbar with a smaller set of these options.
Colors
Swatches control an element's colors:
- Label Color for its name text.
- Background Color for its fill.
- Border Color for its outline, on tables and areas.
These swatches are quick, solid-color pickers. Open the element's full settings if you want a gradient instead of a solid color for the background or border.
Text position
On a table or area, click the layout icon in the floating toolbar to choose where the name sits: top, bottom, left, right, or centered. Round tables and circular areas offer top, center, or bottom, since there are no left or right edges on a circle.
Show or hide text and seat names
Toggles let you declutter a busy layout without deleting anything:
- The eye icon shows or hides a table's name label.
- The person icon shows or hides the seat names around a table.
Both are purely visual. Guests stay assigned to their seats either way. Rows of seats have their own eye toggle that hides the whole row outline instead.
Copy and paste styles
Once you have an element styled the way you like it, copy that styling and apply it to others instead of setting each one up by hand:
- Select the element with the styling you want to reuse.
- Click the paintbrush icon in its toolbar to copy its styles.
- Select another element of the same kind.
- Click the paste paintbrush icon to apply the copied styles.
This carries over colors, text position, and the show and hide toggles, so a whole set of tables or areas can match in a few clicks.
