touch panel graphics

[ljray]

This is the first time that I have tried to use LabView to program a Touch Panel.  I am using the TPC-2006.  I have used LabView before very successfully.

I am trying to pretty up my touch panel screen.  Does anyone know of a trick or font that looks better on the Touch Panel?  Everything I have tried looks very plain and boring.  My application is basically button driven and uses a few list box controls.  I found with the list box controls that they don't look great and color/size/location is sometimes difficult to determine.  Any advice?

Thanks.

Been there ... done that ... don't waste your time.

I know this is all about personal taste and subjective aesthetics ... but stick with the standard fonts, bold, and keep them all the same size in relation to the button size. It will look fine. At least my customers thought so.

so gentlemen solution for font customization is go as per standard ,we cannot do anything on this??

If you find the limited font selection of Windows CE boring, you can realy jazz up your buttons by making them pictures. You can design a button in photoshop then use the picture to create a custom control. Then you can make whatever font or look you want.

 

Also Check out the UI Community Interest group for some of the new custom controls
