Color Dynamics

Color Dynamics have been improved in a number of ways:

 

1.  It is now possible to multi-select variables on a screen and apply the same Color Dynamics rule to each of them at once.

For example, this can be used to highlight the current segment on a Recipe screen by multi-selecting the variables for that segment and making their color change when that segment is running.

2. Additionally it is possible to multi-select variables on a screen and by using the Use Value checkbox apply the rule according to the value.

 

For example, it is possible to specify that all Boolean variables on a screen are shown in a specific color when they are 'On'.

The Use Value checkbox allows this to be done with a single Color Dynamics rule avoiding the need to create a separate Color Dynamics rule for each variable.

 

In this case it is important to multi-select variables that are of the same type (Number, Boolean, etc.)

3. Copying and Pasting of objects on a screen (GDW) will preserve their Color Dynamics settings.

 

4. Objects can be made to flash or be hidden.
