Choosing the Window Style

VN-COMMANDER CONNECT does not support the
use of Window styles

Each window can be given a text label (to identify the source on the target
display) and, if required, a colored border.

Two types of text label can be applied to a window:

••

Overlay Text,

where the text is placed over the source, and

••

Title Text

where the text is placed above or below the source on a colored

background.

The appearance of window text and borders are defined by a Style. A Style
determines the font, size, color and position of text, plus border width and
color.

Fig.7 (page 84) shows some examples of different window styles.

Window styles are defined in an XML file called
ESQuantumConfig.xml. To change or add to the default
styles provided in this version of VN-COMMANDER,
you will need to edit the parameters of this file.

Please refer to Technical Information Note TIN115 on the
VN-COMMANDER installation disc for further help.

By default, if a style is applied to a window which adds a
border or title text, the overall window size does not
increase. The source element of the window is
scaled-down to allow the border and/or title text to fit
within the same overall window size.

If you need the source element to remain a specific size,
you will need to manually set it to the required size using
the Window Position dialog (see page 91).
