Formatting buttons, popover buttons, and popovers
You can format the appearance of buttons and popover buttons and their components — including the border, fill, and label — and popovers — including the border, title, and content area (the area in which objects are placed).
Note  Your formatting changes are saved on the current layout only. To save changes as a style that can be applied to other buttons, popover buttons, or popovers, see Creating and working with styles for layout objects, parts, and the layout background. Or, to save changes to a theme, see Saving a layout theme.
