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.
See Section: Importing Pictures as Custom Backgrounds and Transparent Button Overlay: Features &
Programming for additional information (Page 83).

Backgrounds

Any Background from any Style can be used on a New SPLCD Project. To choose a style:
1. Select the Graphics Tab in the SPLCD System Window. The Graphics Window should now be
displayed in the work environment. Selecting the Graphics Tab will also open the Graphics Palette.
2. In the Graphics Palette, select the Backgrounds Tab. The Background options for a given style will be
displayed in the Graphics Palette, with the Image Attributes of a selected Background indicated directly
below. (Figure 21)
3. Select a Style from the pull-down and browse the associated Backgrounds, Source and Function GTL's
shown in the list until a desired style is found.
4. Once a suitable style is found, with the Backgrounds Tab selected, click-&-drag (drag-&-drop!) the desired
background onto the SPLCD System Window.
5. If using the same style Background as Source and Function GTL's, proceed to the next section. If using
a different style Source GTL, click the Source Tab then select the Source GTL Style from the pull-down.
