Round Color Box - Modern

[Manzolli]

With the addition of the Silver controls, NI added a "Round Color Box (Silver)". Before this addition, when I needed a multi color LED, I used the simplest solution I know: changing the LED's property "Colors" in order to have multi colors. This is Slow and awkward to do. Sometimes, when a square LED fits, I used the "Color Box" to show this output. Now, with the new "Round Color Box (Silver)" I can do it for round LEDs too, but only in Silver way.

I think that all three sets (Classic, Modern and Silver) can have both square and round LEDs. Additionally, Classic, as least, should have two versions, as it happens with the current "Color Box", with and without frame. It's also not nice go to Classic to get an unframed version, to Silver to get a round one, etc. I think all three sets can have round, square, framed and plain Color Boxes.

This has already been suggested (with some examples there of how you can create an actual "color circle" today) - http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/Color-LEDs/idi-p/919509

I don't agree, tst. The idea here is about adding Round Color Box to all sets. The other idea is a new element called Color LED. I use the Color Box as a workaround for a Color LED.

This is my personal opinion here but if this got enough kudos then I would only want the Round Color Box for the System palette. Since LV 2011, I personally only use the System and Silver controls. There are a few Modern controls I still use but the only time I use Classic nowadays is when I want to add transparency (they are mostly easier to make completely transparent). I'm surprised someone hasn't created these controls already and put them on the UI group (https://decibel.ni.com/content/groups/ui).
