Title: change color of indicators
Post by: Sage on October 20, 2009, 03:29:06 PM

For some reason I have trouble seeing the colour of blue used in some of the indicators (like the optional stop and single block buttons). Can someone point out where this can be changed? (if it can)

Thanks

Seems that's for the toopath colours. I'm looking to change the coloured "lights" next to the single block and optional block buttons. I can't tell if they are on or off.

Sorry misread, you will need to use one of the screen design programmes to do that.

Excellent, thanks. Yellow is much better.

Question though. The original location box  was pointing to a directory for the bitmap images and in particular one for a blue light. Just for the heck of it I went to look at what else might be there but I didn't see the particular bit map it was pointing to.
 In any case, as you suggested I deleted the contents of the location box and ithe indicator works fine although the image of the indicator when off looks slightly different (I think). Maybe you can enlighten me for my better understanding what this is all about.

Thanks

It's there....looks like it has it's own Off and ON colors.
I noticed the standard Screen4 OFF is slightly different as well.
I don't really know much about png's, bitmaps and such .....just muddling through.
