Custom control panels
Custom control panels are where London Architect is perhaps at its most flexible. The designer can create many user defined control panels containing almost any control(s) available to the application. Further, custom defined controls can be created with the wide range of possible types of Control Panel Objects. London Architect also comes supplied with a range of bitmap controls and faders to apply to their functional counterparts Using the Gallery, Control Panels can be designed to look as desired and, can be branded with logos and special backgrounds as per the requirements of the client.
The provision of Windows system colours allows the designer to create custom panels that have colour areas that change depending on the PC's user colour theme.
Text strings can be created during a design, for instances where the same text may need to be applied many times.
Text styles similarly, are storable text properties, such as font type, size and colour. These can then be applied to text strings in the design to create a consistent look and feel for the panels, saving much time inputting different text properties.
Wave audio files that play on the PC can also be loaded into Architect to use as warning or indication noises on button pushes and control adjustments.
