This is an example of an application designed to look good in order to catch a passer-by's attention and display useful information.  Features: transparency, custom imagery, heavily customized controls, front panel background, powerpoint generated decorations, transparent indicators.

Simon,

THIS IS AN EYE CATHER!.. I'm kind of a beginner in labVIEW programming and one of the things that I like about it is exactly what you did..cool interfaces!

so I have few questions:

a-How can I make a picture as a background of my front pannel? (road background in your example!)

b-How did you make the decoration behind the thermometer transparent?

I mostly did coding programming like C++ & SQL .. so I'm not familiar with these skills!  I appreciated it if you give me some hints about what you did.

Ardavan,

Alll the techniques should be covered in this post: https://decibel.ni.com/content/groups/ui/blog/2010/04/29/creating-quality-uis-with-ni-labview--devel...
