Applying unique styles to some cards in a deck in Dextrous

In this tutorial, I show you how to change the layout for individual cards/tokens/tiles within a component by using a special style column in the component editor.
Tip: Use this approach if you need to change something (like border color) on a card-by-card basis. If you want a whole different look for some cards, you're better off making a new layout instead of using style columns.
Happy designing!

For anyone else wondering this, "color" is one keyword and "background" is the other -- if you're trying to change the background color use "background":
{color:rgba(134,87,37,1)}
{background:rgba(247, 243, 136, 1)}

is there a way to format style. for example i have a text section of an item name along with it's effect.
eg:
Shadow Cloak : Roll 1 extra dice when defending
so i want the item name (Shadow Cloak) to be bold. would love to format all other card too the same way; like everything before : will be Bold
thx! loving the tool!

[@teamcyeborg]

Is there a way to link together certain elements? For example, say I want every Rare card to have a purple border but every Common card to have a gray border. Is there a way to do that without manually changing the border style for every card?

[@DextrousGameDesign]

Yep absolutely this can be done on the Google sheets side. See our discord for a guide on how to achieve this as it's quite a common thing designers like to setup.

Is there a way to control these things (like text color) directly from the .csv? If I update my CSV, adding rows for example, it shifts all my formatting accordingly

[@justinpeters8153]

i guess for text i can create a text style, but for objects (icons, borders) i'm not sure how to reference an RGB value or the like

[@DextrousGameDesign]

Hey there Justin. I'm not entirely sure what you mean here sorry. Your style column should be in your Google sheet of that makes sense? Then when you add rows they'll always be with the same card... Am i understanding you correctly?

@@DextrousGameDesign AHHH, i'm still working of an uploaded CSV. so either i need to migrate to google sheet OR i can add a column with the proper style naming? that would be very handy. Thank you! I guess i assumed the style column only existed in dextrous itself.
