Working with your Lemur
38
We now want to change the colour of the two Faders. As we already
saw, we could do it by changing every Fader on its own. But it’s tough to hit the
exact same colour twice, so we select them both and change their colour to a same
one.
Drag a square with your mouse that touches both Faders. Now they
both are selected and you can change the properties for both Objects at the
same time.
Objects can also be grouped permanently via the context menu by right-
clicking (command-clicking for Macs) on the selected Objects and choosing
Group.
This group command is also available on the Properties panel, if several
Objects are selected.
Do this for your Faders and every time you click on one of them both will
be selected. Double-click on your new Group to display the General Properties
panel. Note : since different kind of objects can grouped together, only the
properties common to all objects are displayed. Now dial in a nice purple on the
color swatch. Both Faders now have the exact same color.
If you want to ungroup the Faders, click on the Ungroup in the
properties panel.
When you select several Objects or have them grouped, you’ll notice
additional commands appearing on the Properties Panel that deal with layout
and size of the Objects..
The commands are:
• Align to Left, Align to Right
• Align to Top, Align to Bottom
