Update Front Panel

Status: Declined
Already implemented in LabVIEW. A new Silver palette was added in LabVIEW 2011 to give the front panel a new look. The Silver palette was started and designed outside of this idea but I feel that this new feature should cover what this idea was asking for.

Add new features, flexibility, and new controls to the Front Panel.  The only new controls I've seen were made by LabVIEW Customers, and although they were great, they were not resizeable without being distorted (bitmap).  I think it's time for NI to give more options and features for the Front Panel Controls.  I attached some suggestions.  They are there for example, so don't focus on the controls I've made, but the idea of improvements I am suggesting.  NI has done a great job on the Diagrams.  I should hope it's time NI improves the Front Panel.

Of course, I can't know what was done until I see ver.2011.  I certainly hope it is not just a new look, but actual improvements of the front panel.  So, if NI has adopted even some of my suggestions, that will be a good improvement.  I would like to thank you for all efforts made for the front panel (it is long overdue).  What I wrote in my statement was "don't focus on the controls I've made, but the idea of improvements I am suggesting."  This posting got 200 Kudos, so I'm sure there are others who agree with your decision to improve the FP.  All the best...
