Adobe illustrator 10 用户手册

Layers, groups, type, meshes, linked files, bitmap images, blends, envelopes, flares, 
symbols, symbol sets, and graphs all function as containers in the Appearance palette. 
When you apply appearance attributes to a container, all artwork in the container takes on 
these additional attributes.

Displaying the Appearance palette Choose Window > Appearance. 

Displaying attributes in the Appearance palette Make a selection on the artboard, or 
target an item in the Layers palette. (See 

.) The attributes of the selected item appear in the Appearance 

palette. If the item is a container (such as a layer or group), double-click the word Contents 
in the Appearance palette to display the attributes of artwork in the container. Click the 
name of the container to redisplay the its attributes. 

Expanding and collapsing fills and strokes Click the triangle   to the left of the fill or 
stroke in the Appearance palette. Click again to collapse the fill or stroke.

Reordering appearance attributes Drag an appearance attribute up or down in the 
palette to change the order that strokes, fills, and effects are applied. (If necessary, expand 
fills and strokes.) When the outline of the appearance attribute you are dragging appears 
in the desired position, release the mouse button.

The stacking order of strokes and fills directly affects an object’s appearance. For example, 
if the fill attribute is below the Contents entry, any fill attributes applied to objects will be 
applied in front of the fill.

If you apply a style to an object, but the style’s fill color doesn’t appear in the artwork, 
drag the Fill attribute above the Contents entry in the Appearance palette.

Using the Appearance palette menu Click the triangle   in the upper right corner of 
the palette to access commands for working with appearance attributes.

Showing and hiding thumbnails Choose Show Thumbnail or Hide Thumbnail from the 
Appearance palette menu.
