Configurable Style?

[zola_the_gorgon]

I'm using LabVIEW 9.0f3. Is there a file that you can create and distribute with LV applications that will allow you set to set up the application's style properties - e.g. background and foreground colours for panels and containers, font style and size etc? I'm thinking this file would be read when the application starts up. I've had a look at the info on the configuration files, but they don't seem to be what I need. Am I missing something?

Thanks!

If you are looking for an out-of-the-box solution ... no joy.

LV has the capability to do all of those things but the answer is 100% "roll-your-own".

I do not know of a 'simple' way to do this, but it is possible to write a recursive VI that can cycle through the FP objects and apply the attributes that you have asked for. HOWEVER, especially with the font and size in play, alignment of controls/indicators may be a bear to manage.

Thanks guys. I couldn't tell if I was on a wild goose chase or not. If I'm just messing about with colours, I guess doing it programmatically should be safe enough.
