Post PatronBookmark Navigator - Assigning distinctive Colours to different buttons upon selection
You cannot assign different “selected” colors per button in a Bookmark Navigator. The Selected state formatting is shared across all buttons in that navigator.
Solution 1) Use individual buttons + bookmarks
-
Don’t use Bookmark Navigator
-
Create separate buttons (Button visual)
-
Assign each button:
-
Action → Bookmark → specific bookmark
-
-
Control colors via:
-
Button Fill (fixed color)
-
Or duplicate buttons:
-
“Active” version (blue)
-
“Inactive” version (grey/orange)
-
-
Solution 2) Fake the selected color with overlays
If you want to keep the Bookmark Navigator:
-
Create colored rectangles or shapes behind each button
-
Show/hide those shapes using the same bookmarks
-
The “selected” look comes from the shape, not the navigator

Post PatronThanks a lot for this insight. It might not be prudent to remove my current Bookmark navigator to "accommodate" a solution which is inherently only to improve the cosmetic design.
