You know what would be FANTASTIC? If crestron actually delivered a fully baked product that works like some actual thought went into it. You know how you've been designing panels in VT-Pro for the last 10+ years? Yeah, go ahead and throw all that hard work out the window. It's great because we've made it really simple this time we promise! So simple in fact you can't even change the font size, nevermind the actual font! Oh and you can go straight to hell if you've got non Core 3 and Core 3 only panels on the same project. Your customers (our end users) won't be able to tell up from down when they get done learning two completely different interfaces, nevermind the extra time and development costs of developing and maintaining two completely different platforms to you the programmers/dealers.
I'm beginning to think that angry midgets with ADD are developing Crestron software.

I think it's completely BS that you have to install an enormous several hundred meg program (that barely works) and another several hundred meg SQL server, and then use a beta add-on "just" to edit colors, graphics, or fonts in Core3. Why hasn't Crestron created either a stand-alone Theme Editor program or incorporated this into VTPro by now?
Anyone who claims that Core3 is production worthy, I would strongly disagree with them based on this alone. It is completely unacceptable to have to use beta software (ie: only on Labs) to make design changes to a production worthy technology. If you can't download a theme editor from their normal software server, then it isn't production worthy... conversely, if you can't change fonts, or colors on Core3 using production software, then Core3 isn't production software either. How long has Core3 been "released" now and the full set of tools that we need are still not in release status?
Sorry for the rant, but I'm getting sick of hearing "just install almost a Gig of bloatware plus some beta software so you can change the font from arial to <new font>". It's frustrating at this point, and nothing has changed in over a year.

If you have access to labs you can activate the theme editor in Studio and its super easy to add fonts to themes.

If only I could make my company *not* sell Core 3...errr..."SMART OBJECT" panels... I so would.

But at the moment you can user the fonts provided by the themes or create a graphics for the object with the text and font you need instead.
