The Eyedropper tool appears whenever you open any of Dreamweaver??™s color
swatches, such as those attached to the Background, Text, and Links colors. You can not only pick a color from
the Web-safe palette that appears, but you can also use the Eyedropper to select any color on any page??”
including system colors such as those found in dialog boxes and menu strips.
To use the Eyedropper tool to choose a color for the background (or any of the other options) from an
onscreen image, follow these steps:
1. Insert your image on the page and, using the vertical scroll bar, position the Document window so
that the image and the Page Properties dialog box can be viewed simultaneously.
If your image is too big to fit both it and the Page Properties dialog box on the same screen, temporarily
resize your image by dragging its sizing handles. You can restore the original image size
when you have finished by clicking the Refresh button on the Image Property inspector.
2. Open the Page Properties dialog box by choosing Modify ??? Page Properties or using the keyboard
shortcut Ctrl+J (Command+J).
3. Drag the Page Properties dialog box to a place where the image can be seen.
4. Select the Background color swatch (or whichever one you want to change). The Dreamweaver
color picker opens, and the pointer becomes an eyedropper.
