Virtual Console Widget Styling & Placement
Each widget can be "tuned" in terms of colors, font, frame style, stacking order, size and
placement to better suit your vision of the perfect lighting console. Most of these options, except
for moving and resizing, are available in the Virtual Console Edit menu that is accessed from the
menu bar as well as a popup menu by right clicking a widget you wish to adjust.
NOTE: Virtual Console widgets' styling and placement options are available only when the
application is in Design Mode.
Moving Widgets
Widgets can be moved simply by dragging them as if you were dragging any icon on your
desktop. Refer to your operating system manual on how to drag items.
To move a widget from one frame to another frame, you need to move the widgets through the
Virtual Console clipboard; Cut the widgets from the first frame, then select another frame and
paste the widgets to that frame.
Resizing Widgets
Each widget has a special resize handle on their lower-right corner that you can grab and then
resize the widget simply by dragging the handle to an appropriate size.
