Overlay Text Dialog Box
You have the option to define the text overlaid in the Scene Area during simulation, by clicking Edit in the
Simulation Settings Dialog Box .
By default the date and time are displayed using the format specified in Control Panel
➤
Regional Settings. You
can specify the exact format to use by entering text into the text box. Most text will appear as entered, except
that words prefixed with a % or $ character act as keywords and are replaced with various values. The Date/Time
and Extras buttons can be used to select and insert all possible keywords. The Colors button can be used to define
the color of the overlay text.
The Font button brings up the standard Microsoft Windows font picker dialog box. Once the correct font, font
style and point size have been selected, press OK to return to the Overlay Text dialog box. The current font
selection is shown next to the Font button, and during the TimeLiner simulation, all text on the overlay will be
shown using this font.

%A Full weekday name.
%b Abbreviated month name.
%B Full month name.
%c Date and time representation appropriate for locale.
