Hello,
My company has decided to recycle the excellent FileMaker solution we have created for one of our projects for use on another similar project. (We are a publishing company and we use FM to handle invoicing, ad tracking, proofing, collections, etc). However, I have to make several changes to our Invoice layouts, issue names, and so on, enough that I think the best way to do it is to make a seperate version of the same database using FileMaker Developer (to rename the files from the current solution) and FileMaker Pro to save new cloned copies of the files. I then reset all of the serial-value numeric fields across all of the files in our solution (all 45 of them!) and now I want to change the user interface so that it is noticably different from the other version of our solution. A new colour scheme is probably the best way I can think of to do it.
There are hundreds of layouts with a lot of coloured backgrounds, buttons, and other layout elements. I expect that it will be an extremely tedious and time consuming job to manually edit all of the layouts to change to a new colour theme. Is there any utility out there that can automate this for me, or is there a way to do it using FileMaker's built-in functionality?
FileMaker Version: Dev 6
Platform: Mac OS X Panther
