Workspace
• High DPI support
Windows display scaling is supported with automatic selection of
suitably sized, sharp-looking buttons, controls and menus, so for
very high-resolution displays, displays at a distance, or for those
with impaired vision, PagePlus X8 will look better than ever.
• Paragraph tab
Change paragraph settings without having to open a dialog—the
new Paragraph tab adds popular controls to your tabbed workspace
for greater efficiency.
Colours
• Replace colours and manage the publication palette (see p. 127)
Replace regular colours across entire publications in one go, as
easily as when updating colour schemes—ideal for quickly
refreshing imported PDFs that do not use scheme colours. Manage
your palette with new Clean and Update options, keeping it useful
and tidy as designs evolve.
• Colour picking from pictures
Load a picture directly into your Colour tab to grab colours without
having to place on your page, so you can maintain focus on your
design while picking co-ordinated colours.
• Colour tab saturation control
A new slider on the Colour tab adjusts saturation, making it
possible to easily select pastels, greys, and complementary tones.
• New Pantone® colour palettes
Stay fashionable, design with a competitive edge, and print with
confidence by choosing from 84 new, professionally-selected
colours from an updated Pantone® PLUS palette.
