Horizontal Line in a Theme

[gary]

Is it possible to change the color of a horizontal line in a FP 2002 Theme?
I am trying to change the color of a horizontal line in the Edge Theme from
black to brown. Thanks.

If the horizontal line is a image, then you have to modify the theme, and
change the image in a image application, the re-insert the image, save the
theme under a new name, then remove the current them and apply the modified
theme.

That does sound dedious, doesn't it!

Re-worded:

changing the image in a image application, then you have replace the current
image, then save the theme under a new name, then remove the current theme
from your web and then apply the modified theme.

Thanks, but I'm not sure what this particular horizontal line is, i.e. text,
image or "other". I can copy it from the page and if I look on the clipboard
it's there as evidenced by a FP icon but the clipboard says "preview not
available." If I cut it and open my image editor there is nothing to paste.

I can also select the horizontal line, right-click and then click on
"Horizontal Line Properties" which brings up the "Horizontal Line
Properties" dialogue box which is grayed out. From that point I chose
"Style" and went in there and tried a few things, none of which had any
effect.

Will this horizontal line just remain one of those mysteries of life?

If it is a not an image, then you still have to modify the theme to change
the look.

Well, what is a "horizontal line" as defined by FP 2002? I'm not sure and
can't seem to figure it out. Whatever it is, it doesn't seem to behave like
either an image or text.

Gary,

Now, you know that I don't use themes! <g>

Anyway, with a web open, open a page that has the theme, then Format Menu |
Themes click the Modify Theme button, then click Graphics, then under Item,
select Horizontal Rule and you will see the name of the image that you have
to replace.
