change the front panel

[shrek'sdonkey]

hi again

I wondered how can we change the color of the front panel

I have been told to use the color brush or could use property node but how is it done , I still don't know how to use property nodes.

More over I have got some words in a string that have a small font, how can I change the font so that the words appear bigger

Hi sombarero,

learn how to use property nodes - you will need them for such tasks.

FP color: reference to vi -> reference to panel -> set color of panel (all this using property nodes...)

String font: reference to string -> set start and end of selection -> set font of selected text (also using property nodes...)

Read the context help, look at the examples that come with LabView!

Hi sombarero,

one simple way to do this change is

Click on View à Select Tools palate

 

Tools palate Appears as in the picture.

 

Choose set color (in the bottom) from the tools palate.

 

Then select the color which you want to be in the background & for the buttons etc…

 

For Increasing the Font Size of a text/label

Select the Text & Press

Ctrl+= to increase   Ctrl+- to decrease
