how to change the appearance of a front panel indicator?

[sukhiray]

In the picture there are two graphs of two different appearance.  The transparent border looks good and sophisticated also. So, I want to change the appearance of 2nd one. Is it possible to change the appearance of 2nd one to get similarity in display?

Yes, color the native frame transparent and add one of the decorations for the new frame.

I'm not getting... Can you please elaborate the steps?

Goto View -> Tools Palette and you should be able to see the Set Color tab in there. Follow the instructions given by Christian and you should be good.

I think the left one is a Classic indicator, apart from being colored transparent. Just r-click on your right one and select Replace -> Classic -> [graph]. Then repaint it with transparency.

But another problem I m till fighting with is something like that:-

1. I have to plot 3 plots on that graph
2. each time I'm opening the vi this graph is go back to it's default config.
3. it's default config is for single plot
4. during execution it sets other plots to the default settings.
5. But I want to plot other two not as continuous line but as points.
6. how to overwrite the graph setting at the starting of the program execution?
7. the actual graph is placed at the end of the program in a while loop. Then is it possible to write anything to the local variable before the program execution actually reaches that loop?

What is your LabVIEW version?

One quick solution: Once three graphs are displayed, stop the VI, right-click the graph and select "make current values default". Save the VI.
