Silver Scale Legend

Status: New

It would be nice if the buttons on the graph Scale Legend will have Silver look as well.

Do you mean updated glyphs or just actual defined buttons inside of the Scale Legend?

I meant:

scale after.png

 

instead of:

scale before.png

 

This can be applied to the Graph Palette as well.

 

Thank you,

Amir.

We will not make the button shapes be similar to the Silver buttons. That is not the intended visual design.

 

The mistake here is that the buttons are supposed to be transparent in both their states. I'll file a CAR to myself. You can fix it yourself by using the coloring tool. If you fix the custom control (vi.lib\silver_ctls\Graph\XY Graph NI_Silver.ctl) then you won't need to fix it every time you place a new instance.

Thank you for your answer.

 

I'm afraid this won't work with the X.XX and Y.YY buttons:

and the Graph Palette:

[BTW: Are 2 buttons allowd to be ON simultaneously? as you can see above, if you click the Zoom tool (while some other tool is ON), than not choose a zoom action but rather click somewhere else on the BD, the Zoom tool will stay ON.]

 

Thank you,

Amir.

You have to use the Control Editor to color the X.XX button. Let me see if I can post a fixed version of the CTL file here. (I'll have to ask the board admins how that's done, or post it somewhere else and provide a link).

 

I'll talk to Simon about it, but I believe the Graph palette is intentionally using the subtle button style because the big Silver button frames would be very "chunky" there. I don't think he wanted those to be flat like the Scale Legend buttons.

 

[The Zoom tool button staying pressed when you don't select a zoom action is a bug. The graph still works correctly, but the image is drawn incorrectly until you select a zoom action].
