I use a standard Link Bar on my website and wondered if I can make simple
modifications to it (i.e. colour, spacing, size etc) without having to
recreate it again manually.
 
How do you mean you created it manually?

Ok, you are basically limited to the options available in the properties dialog which also depend on
if you have applied a theme and if the remote server has the FP2002 extensions.

I thought as much. Seems like I will have to do it myself. What is the best
technique to recreate them manually? I currently use the "Profile" theme.
Many thanks for your help.
 
You can't create them manually, if you want FP to maintain the links based on the navigation
structure.

You can how create a navigation structure using tables, etc. when you manually create your links.

Place the link bar in a container (<div>, <td>, <p>, <span> etc.) and
apply styles to the container.
If using images, you can change the spacing between images by changing
the font size, for text link bars change all or any text attributes.
The colours used (for text link bar) are set by any theme in use, but
can be over-ridden using appropriate CSS. Colours in image link bars
are set by the theme - you will have to modify the theme and/or the
theme images.
 
Unfortunately I don't program with code and use the visual editor. Is a
container the equivalent to inserting a table? What is CSS?
Many thanks
 
CSS - Cascading Style Sheets. See www.w3shools.com for an
introduction and tutorial.
The <td> container will be available if you insert a one row, one
column table. Insert the navigation bar into the cell, then use
right-click, Cell properties Style button to set the style (font,
colours etc.) The style button will insert the CSS.
