Creating Schemes
Creating color schemes is one of the powerful features of the TekTouchPad and is accessed by
selection of the menu items “Resources” sub-item “Color Schemes”. The default scheme loaded
as shown gives a starting place for new scheme creation. A Scheme can be edited and saved to
a new file name. Any Scheme file within the project
directory will automatically load into the project. Any
other existent scheme may be loaded using the
“Scheme File” selection at the bottom of the dialog.
The scheme creation dialog allows for two views,
the button view (default) and the panel view. The
button view display what the button would look like
in both pressed and not pressed states. The panel
view displays what a complete panel of 8 buttons
would look like displayed on the TekTouchPad.

unit prior to full panel definitions.

shine upper edge.

edge is usually the top edge of a non-pressed button, and is a lighter shade of
