Fonts are based on the Themes. And the pre-made themes have a limited font selection built into them. You cannot edit the text to change to a font that is not part of the theme. When the Theme Editor becomes available (it is in development but I don't have a release date for it at this time) you will be able to add fonts to the themes to add more variety. 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. --- In Crestron@..., "blcsnd" <joshjx@...> wrote:

Available fonts are governed by the Core3 theme applied to the project and/or page.
You will have to edit the theme to change the available fonts. Tray From: Eric Williams Sent: Tuesday, May 07, 2013 1:38 PM To: Crestron@... Subject: RE: [Crestron] Add Fonts to Core3 Project?

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

+1, you can even create a very limited theme (if you don't want to dive too deal into it) with just txt objects with various font styles sizes colors etc... Its really pretty easy.

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. -Jason --- In Crestron@..., Neil Dorin <neildorin@...> wrote:

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.

True, it needs to release software. But... Learn it, and then tell me it sucks. After you build a custom media player, or a fully scalable keypad / dpad, tell me it still sucks. Oh yeah, how about create one button style in one size that you can infinitely scale. Old way, gigs of graphics. New way, packed down theme that a fully loaded panel can use containing maybe 100 png files. It is and will be more efficient if you take the time to learn it (assuming the tsw platform ever works rite).

You guys do know that learning core 3 would be alot easier if everyone stopped complaining so much, maybe help contribute a few ideas.... Just saying -----Original Message-----

They have potential though, give it a few years. Just make sure you include the 3rd state for a new template. 3 states??????? --- In Crestron@..., "Chip" <cfm@...> wrote:

The idea is great in concept, but as usual Crestron gets it 75% right and calls it "good enough", then proceeds to slap it on top of some aging 10 year old development software that it shares nothing in common with, even though it isn't backwards compatible.

Scalable buttons are great and should have been introduced YEARS ago the way CommandFusion has been doing. Buttons are a bit of a pain in the ass, but I can customize them any way I want them to look. D-Pads and Keypads are of little concern to me. It takes literally a few minutes to do them once for each panel size. You know what takes DAYS and WEEKS? All the other things that go into a panel like the navigation, subpages, graphics, lining everything up in SIMPl and making sure everything works right. My biggest gripe by far is that two different panels in the same project will have two completely different looks and feels because one doesn't support anything BUT Core 3. This is just unacceptable. I'm sure Core3 will be far faster once it's production ready, but in the meantime we're all essentially beta testers. --- In Crestron@..., Eric Williams <ewilliams0305@...> wrote:

I'm pretty sure that CF *does *support 9-slice scaling. You can define a
border width, which is used all around to define the 9 slices. On Tue, May 14, 2013 at 5:55 PM, Heath Volmer <hvolmer@...> wrote: ** [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |

The border margin in a button theme is for offsetting the position of the text in the button image. iOS 5 doesn't natively support 9-slicing (more like 3-slicing if I recall), and it's actually fairly complicated to implement it. iOS 6 does a better job. I hope that we'll see 9-slicing in CF,although at the expense of iOS5 and iPad 1 support.

It looks to me like it is doing something like 3-slice scaling. I put this
together using the same graphic with two different border values: The original graphic is 50px square, and the long dimension of the stretched versions is 175 px. So I guess that it's good for buttons that stretch horizontally at least. On Tue, May 14, 2013 at 6:17 PM, Heath Volmer <hvolmer@...> wrote: ** [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |

Yes, that's the stretching that iOS 5 allows. Horizontal only. I didn't know that was there. I stand corrected and happy - now I only need to make various height buttons and not various widths also.
