LCD Screen Editor: Changing the View Options

There are several options on the View menu that affect the appearance of the LCD Screen Editor. These settings are retained from one session to the next, but do not in any way affect the RMC and LCD420 behavior.

Status Bar and Toolbar

While most users find the status bar and toolbar to be useful, some may wish to remove them to use the their screen space for other purposes.

To show or hide the toolbar:

On the View menu, click Toolbar.

To show or hide the status bar:

On the View menu, click Status Bar.

Gridlines

The screen pane is a 4-row, 20-column text box. To help lay out text in this box, gridlines separating each character can be turned on or off.

To show or hide gridlines:

On the View menu, click Gridlines.

Screen Pane Font

The default font size for the screen pane was chosen to be fairly small to ensure that the window fit on all systems. You may want to increase the font size to take advantage of systems with larger display resolution.

To change the screen pane font:

On the View menu, click Change Font.
In the Size box, type or select the point size.
If necessary, click to clear or select the Bold check box.
Click Apply to see the effect of your changes, OK to accept the changes, or Cancel to cancel the changes.
