Stretchy Objects

Stretchy objects help to create ‘pageless’ designs where there is no obvious page
boundary, where page backgrounds cover the entire browser window and stretch to fill
the browser width. The stretchy feature is designed to work only with rectangles and
photos and is unlikely to work usefully on any other shapes. You can make any rectangle
or rectangular image stretch to fill the browser window, either horizontally or vertically,
using the Stretchy dialog (the same dialog as the Sticky controls). These stretchy items
are normally intended as page backgrounds and so they appear behind everything else
on the page. You may even want to put them on one of the background layers (on page
448).
To create a Stretchy Object...
• Draw a rectangle on the page or select a rectangular image - typically you would make
this as wide or wider than the page and placed behind all other objects.
• Select the menu "UTILITIES" > "WEB STICKY/STRETCHY" or the equivalent option on the
right-click context menu
• Select the FULL WIDTH option.

As with Sticky objects you will need to preview the position (on page 435) of your
stretchy object in the on-board web browser before you can see your changes. You will
see it covers the entire width of the browser window.
