Value:

The <bottomColor> of an <object> is a <color reference>.

The <colorName> is any standard color name.

The <RGBColor> consists of three comma-separated <integer|integers> between zero and 255, specifying the level of each of red, green, and blue; or an HTML-style color consisting of a hash mark (#) followed by three <hexadecimal> numbers, one for each of red, green, and blue.

By default, the <bottomColor> for all <object|objects> is empty.

Description:

Objects whose threeD <property> is set to true appear to stick out of or recede into the screen. Use the <bottomColor> <property> to specify the color of the shadowed edge of the <object>.

Setting the <bottomColor> of an <object> to empty allows the <bottomColor> of the <object|object's> <owner> to show through. Use the <effective> <keyword> to find out what color is used for the <object>, even if its own <bottomColor> is empty.

If the object's showBorder <property> is false, the <bottomColor> has no effect.

The setting of the <bottomColor> <property> has different effects, depending on the <object type>:

* The <bottomColor> of a <stack> determines the <bottomColor> of each <object> in the <stack> that does not have its own <bottomColor>.

* The <bottomColor> of a <card> or <group> determines the color of the border around the <card> or <group>, as well as determining the <bottomColor> of each <object> in the <card> or <group> that does not have its own <bottomColor>.

* The <bottomColor> of a <button>, <player>, <EPS|EPS object>, or <graphic> forms a border on the bottom and right edges of the <object>. If the <object|object's> <threeD> <property> is false, the <bottomColor> has no effect.

* The <bottomColor> of a <field(keyword)> forms a border on the top and left edges of the <field(keyword)> and (if the <field(keyword)> is a scrolling <field(keyword)>) the bottom and right edges of the arrow boxes at the ends of the scrollbar and the top and left edges of the scroll area. The <field(object)|field's> <bottomColor> also determines the color of the bottom and right edges of any text in the <field(keyword)> whose <textStyle> is set to "threeDBox". If the <field(object)|field's> <threeD> <property> is false, the <field(keyword)> border is not affected.

* The <bottomColor> of a <scrollbar> forms a border on the bottom and right edges of the arrow boxes at the ends of the <scrollbar>, and the top and left edges of the scroll area.

* The <bottomColor> of an <audio clip> or <video clip> has no effect.

* The <bottomColor> of an <image(keyword)> is the sixth color in the <image(object)|image's> <color palette>. (To set the color of the lowered edge of an <image(object)|image's> border, set the <bottomColor> of the <card>, <stack>, or <group> that <owner|owns> the <image(keyword)>.)

If an object's bottomPattern is set, the pattern is shown instead of the color specified by the <bottomColor>.
