Re: My vmsPC setup Reply #25 – October 06, 2019, 08:00:08 pm Maybe I missed this in the documentation, but, is there a way to retain the font size when re-sizing a box? To me that's the most time consuming thing when building a new screen. You can lay it out how you want it to look but have to play with each box size to get the text the size you want. Quote Selected

Re: My vmsPC setup Reply #27 – October 06, 2019, 10:52:56 pm In the current versions vertical height of the letters is proportional to the height of the gauge. Adding a bar graph to the bottom of the gauge seems like a poor use of screen real estate. Leaving an indicator on in the gauge gets you a small dot and uses a lot of space. Same with units of measure. Move those to the gauge name in the parameter editor. The second picture is actually two of the same gauge just displayed in different ways. Making the gauges less cluttered makes them easier to read. You can use gauge names or their abbreviation (you can set both) to help set size. There is no better way to experiment with how it works. The 4.x versions have more control over color, palettes, day/night versions. The 5.x version is soon to be moved from the freezer to the back burner. When it thaws perhaps the front burner. I have seen early versions but the final version will be much different with an improved user interface. Or so I hear. Quote Selected 1 Likes
