Hi

These assets just styles that can be added to the style panel to help you apply preset design settings to objects and speed up work flow. This set was created as I found it a quick way to apply tints/colours to vector elements without searching through the swatches to find the appropriate colour. They are arranged on the sheet to include a single colour and an equivalent highlight and shadow as a tint.

To install: just unpack the .zip file and drag {name .afstyles file into AD window area OR install from dropdown menu on right of Styles Panel

The thread is getting quite old now and there have been a lot of enhancements to AD tools and functions.. Styles can be used in conjunctions with the 'newish' Appearance Panel/Stroke settings/swatches panel/Fill (bitmaps & images) options. 

If you wanted to experiment with more complex options there are many style freebies in resources...Also the way I opt to work with them has changed considerably. If you want experiment with the options on how to use them...The later versions of Style Pattern Experiments can be found here... in Resources. There is also a explanation sheet here
 

But also some of the links below will help you!...There are many others!

Tutorials
There are a lot of tutorials available that will help you understand Styles and where to apply/use them
1. Installing assets...There is a comprehensive guide to installing all assets here

2. Effects and Adjustments AD Affinity Tutorial and others and Multiple Strokes and Fills
3. Patterns: Affinity Spotlight article or Seamless Patterns or Frankentoons Guide to Seamless Patterns
