front panel cosmetic change

[coolmatthew]

Hello!

Attached please find a sample vi. On page 2 and page 5 you can see some boxes and faint lines. I am wondering if it is possible to change its size, and how can i create more?

Thank you so much for your generous help!

I'm unable to open the VI (size 13 KB).

I can open the VI but those elements seem to be ghosts.

LabVIEW is drawing them but they do not seem to be tied to anything (cant left or right click on them to select).

You can select them by performing a selection rectangle but even when selected you cant delete or move them.

No right click menus.

I would say they used to be decorations but someone tried to delete them and only half suceeded

Oh! I don't know why I am able to open it!

Anyway try this one!

Oops, my bad, LabVIEW was "stuck".  A logoff/logon fixed it.

I have no idea how you got those lines to appear on your Tab.  Do you know about Decorations (found on the Front Panel palette, but not on the Silver Palette -- try the Modern Palette).  The Raised Frame might be what you are looking for, very visible ...

BS

Oh I see! Thank you very much for your prompt reply!

I am wondering if there is anyway to draw similar rectangles or produce similar "ghosts" like them?

Oh I found it now! That is exactly what I wanted!

Thank you so much!!!
