Changing control style of several controls together

Status: New

Hello,

 

I would like to be able to change the "style" of several controls together. Something similar to a style sheet (like css for html) would be great.

 

Imagine the customer does not like the white background of the controls and wants a yellow one instead. This means I have to set the color of every single control. When I used strict typedef controls then I can change in groups, but I am not able to change the background color of a dbl and a U8 at the same time. View has nothing to do with the type!

Maybe also the frame is to big. There is nothing I can do so far. And if I could, I had to do it for all controls again.

 

Greetings,

shb

I was just thinking how a style sheet for front panel objects would be handy.  Custom styles could be created/defined and it would be some style sheet linking mechinism that dictates what the front panel looks like.
