CHOOSING A STYLE
Multiple
STYLES
of
Backgrounds
,
Source Buttons
, and
Function Buttons
are included in a
Graphics
Library
within
Universal Dragon
. Each
Style
contains its own set of
Backgrounds
and
GTL’s
(Graphical
Touch Links). Once a
Background
is selected,
any mix
of
Source
and
Function Button Styles
will be
available. For purpose of example, a
Chromatic Background
, with
Contemporary Source Buttons
and
Skyline Function Buttons
will be used.
NOTE:
Custom Backgrounds can be imported into Universal Dragon as BMP or PNF Files to create a variety of
special effects. Theme backgrounds can be used to match the personality or interest of the user, a photo image
of an Audio Video Entertainment Center or wall section can be used to create a truly custom control experience.
