Removing box around text label

[Nacree]

When you place a text label decoration on the front panel Labview places it in a box.  You can of course change the color of the box but it still leaves an outline of the box.  I would like to be able to remove the box outline so just the text remains.  Is there any way to do this?

Thanks,

Nathan

You can use the Set Color tool like this

You need to set both background and foreground to transparent which is the little T at the top right of the colour picker.

Sure you can.  First of all, you can remove the outline of labels that you already created by going to the paint brush tool.  If auto-tool is on, hold the shift button and right click the mouse to bring up the tool palette.  Then select the paint brush from the bottom of the palette.  You then right click on the lable and select the color you want for the foreground.  Then without changing anything else, press the space bar and select the color you want for the border.  The color I typically select is transparent; available by clicking the T in the upper left corner of the color selection palette.

If you want all of the new controls to have borderless lables, you can change a settings in Tools -> Options.  On the Front Panel page select Use Transparent Name Lables.

Hope that this helps,
