Hi all.

Apologies if this is an obvious question. Which parts of your theme affect the text you enter as graphic text on ‘graphic’ components? In particular, is it possible to have the colour of the text come from the theme/style?

Thanks

Hi Mitch, you can set the colour in Theme \> Component Item \> Text Appearance \> Component Item Text colours. Bear in mind it could be overridden by an applied Article Style.  
Cheers-Sam

Hi Sam. Thanks for the reply.

Just confirming, that will change the text colour for all components and it would then need to be overridden either in an article style or in the wysiwyg editor for each?

So effectively, there is no way to change graphic text specifically at the theme level?
