How do I rename a button?

1. Open the panel view of the panel with the button you want to rename.

2. Select the button you want to rename by clicking on it. A red frame will

appear around the selected button.

3. Press F2 and a name dialog with an on-screen keyboard will open. Click

on the 

Shift

 button to change from one keyboard layout to another (the

keyboard layouts are equal to the ones on your USR-5). Click on a key
button to add the symbol depicted on that button. You can also use your
PC keyboard to enter regular alphanumeric characters.

4. Press the ENTER key when you’re done.

How do I change the font used in a button?

1. Open the panel view of the panel with the button of which you want to

change the font.

2. Double-click on the button of which you want to change the font, or select

the button by clicking on it and press the INSERT key.

3. The Button Properties sheet appears. Select the 

Properties

 tab, and

choose a font from the drop-down list.

4. Click on the 

Apply

 button to look at the result of the change in the panel

view, and click on the 

OK

 button to accept the change or on the 

Cancel

button to decline it.

How do I copy all bitmaps from one button to another?

After creating a button and putting a few actions into its action list, you may want to change the appearance of
that button without having to recreate the action list. You can easily do this by copying all bitmaps from another
button to this button.

1. Open the panel view of the panel with the button to which you want to

copy bitmaps.

2. If you want to copy bitmaps from a button in another panel, open the panel

view of that panel. If you want to copy bitmaps from a button in the gallery,
open the gallery (see 

How do I add a button to a panel?

 for instructions

on how to open the gallery).

3. Press and hold an ALT key, click on the button from which you want to

copy icons, drag it to the button to which you want to copy bitmaps, and
drop the dragged button.
