Creating Templates with Alternate Screen Names

G4 PanelBuilder supports alternate screen names for use with elements with longer names. The alternate name
must be defined by the template creator.
You must create an info button for the device and use this syntax:
[info]alternate name
For example, the device Audio Conference could have the alternate screen name of Audio Conf. displayed on
the navigation button. The info button is defined as:
[info]Audio Conf

Creating Templates with Color Schemes

When you create a template within TPDesign4 you can designate color palettes from which to work. Defined
color palettes are Color Schemes, utilized by G4 PanelBuilder for changing color schemes.

Define The Color Scheme

1.
Within TPDesign4, select Panel > Edit Palettes to open the Edit Palettes dialog.
2.
Select Rename to edit the name of the palette.
3.
Define the colors used in the palette.
4.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 for as many color schemes you want available within the template file.
5.
Click Close.

Create A Preview Image

Before TPDesign4 will export a template file, all color schemes must have a sample image.
1.
Select a panel page that best represents the color scheme used. It is suggested you use the same panel
page for all color schemes to better show the color changes.
2.
With the selected panel page open and active, select Page > Create Template Preview Image to open the
Create Template Preview Image dialog.
3.
Set Element Type to Palette.
4.
The Name must match the name you used in step 2 of Define The Color Scheme.
5.
You can set the Scale, File Format and Compression at your discretion.
6.
Click OK.
You can now export the file as a template, open and use it within G4 PanelBuilder.
