Any objects you add to a layout are formatted according to the new theme’s attributes. You can use the Inspector to apply styles to objects or reformat the font and buttons after you change the theme, or you can copy and paste font styles from the original text objects to new text objects. See Copying formatting attributes between layout objects, parts, or backgrounds.

If the current layout theme has a border, the border corresponds to the width of the layout. If you resize the layout in Layout mode, the border resizes proportionally. To allow the layout border to resize in Browse mode when database users resize the FileMaker Pro window, specify that objects automatically resize horizontally on the layout. See Setting auto-resize options for layout objects.
