front panel attributes

[pblue]

Is there anyway to get an attribute node for the background color of the front
panel?

[Gorka Larrea]

If I'm not wrong, there's no way of changing background
color programatically, you can use a little trick, put a
large flat boolean covering all the background and change
its color using an attribute node.
Hope this helps

No. You can use either a boolean button and set it's colours, or a colour
box as an indicator an wire the colour to it directly.

Yes,
Open a VI reference and then create a front panel property node. Next create another property node from the front panel property node, (Create>> Property>> Color). Wire the output from the front panel property node into the Color property node and connnect a color pallette to the input color.

When you feed a path into the Open VI Reference the front panel color will change according to the color pallette selection.
