Section.AlternateBackShade property (Access)

  • Article

Gets or sets the shade applied to the theme color in the AlternateBackColor property of the section. Read/write Single.

Syntax

expression.AlternateBackShade

expression A variable that represents a Section object.

Remarks

The AlternateBackShade property contains a numeric expression that can be used to darken the theme color in the AlternateBackColor property. The default value of the AlternateBackShade property is 100, which is neutral, and does not change the theme color.

To darken the color, first determine the percentage by which to darken from 1 to 100, and then subtract that value as a whole number from 100 and use the remainder. For example, to darken the theme color shade by 75%, subtract 75 from 100 and use the remainder, which is 25.

This property is not surfaced in the property sheet.
