Changing an Element on a Standard Screen
Graphics, Text, Clocks, Scrollers and Sounds are referred to as
elements
of a
screen. Any elements can be changed at any time after the screen's initial
creation. In most cases, the process used to alter an element is identical to the
procedure used to create it. To change a screen, first select it from the Sequence
Editor (See
page 22, Using the Sequence Editor
). This will invoke the Screen
Editor.
A
Graphic
can be swapped for any other graphic in the
Graphic Library
. Click
Change
under the header
Graphic
to alter the graphic. Refer to
page 34,
Adding a Graphic to a Screen
for more details. The screen's background
colour and transition can also be changed, by clicking the appropriate box and
making your choice.
Text
can be edited at any time by clicking
Change Text
. The process to edit text
is given on
page 40, Adding Text to a Screen.
A
Clock
can be changed by clicking
Change Clock
. If you alter the time of day,
it will affect all clocks, not just the one you are changing. See Adding a Clock
to a Screen, page 52.
If a
Scroller
is present, it can be altered by clicking
Change
under the
Scroller
heading. See
page 49, Adding a Scroller to a Screen
. In addition, the
scroller's repeat times and speed can be altered without invoking the Scroller
Editor. Simply enter a new number of repeat times into the
Repeat Times
box,
or adjust the
Speed
Slider by clicking and dragging the slider. The further to the
right the slider is, the faster the slider will be. To
Hide a scroller
, set the repeat
times to zero.
A
Sound
can be changed by clicking the button labelled
Change
at the bottom
left corner of the screen. See
page 56, Adding a Sound to a Screen
. In
addition, the sound's volume can be changed without invoking the Sound
Selector. Use the slider next to the speaker button. The further right the slider is,
the louder the sound will be. Click the speaker button to hear the sound at the
selected volume. To
mute a sound
, drag the slider to the far left. Once muted, a
sound will not play.
