Button Configuration Strategies
In working towards a new screen layout, there are some strategies that can be taken to help
with the button page creation. The first step is to draw out what buttons are needed. Secondly,
work on button groupings, are some buttons dependent on the operation of others. Thirdly,
identify what the button operational characteristics are; toggle, momentary, or radio type
grouped buttons. After identifying the button groupings, it should be decided how the largest
button group should be oriented. Will the largest grouping fit on one page, or spread across
several pages, occupying specific rows. Common commands may be repeated on one row of
each page for availability such as the volume control. Other approaches may confine specific
functionality on each page eg. source selection on one page, control commands on the second
page, and possibly lighting controls on the third page.
The Scheme definitions for each button or group of buttons should be such that contrast
between the face color and the text color is highest for ease of identification. This may require
different text colors for selected and non-selected buttons to improve readability across button
states.
