Switching controls appearance

[nathanja]

It may sound trivial, but I've been asked to give the LabVIEW program I'm writing a makeover. Are the options on the controller panel for buttons, rings, graphics etc...pretty much set? Is there an easy way to make the program more visually appealing?

For instance having a check box like [the one that appears on the "Email me when someone replies"] rather than a toggle switch. Or resizing text of more important outputs/indicators.

If anyone would like to post samples of their VI's for front panel arranging, that'd be great too.

Thanks everyone!

You can right click and select replace. Check out this zip file.

Another good one here.

You can resize controls and indicator by using the positioning tool.  Place the pointer at the edge of the control/indicator, at the double-arrow drag the control out.  To increase the text in a string indicator simple click inside the indicator to get a flashing cursor and press the Cntl+ keys to resize.  I hope this helps.

Hi nathanja,

Any control in LabVIEW can be customized by right-clicking and selecting Advanced > Customize.
