MVP 2023 Flex727 Posted February 28, 2015 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Still a bit new to UniLogic and I'm having some difficulty with a few simple items when building HMI screens. In VisiLogic on the V570, buttons have a very nice 3D effect and can look "pressed" or "unpressed". When using UniLogic on a UniStream 7, buttons look flat always. Am I overlooking something? I recognize there are 4 different button styles, but none of them appear very 3D and there doesn't seem to be an option to make any button appear "pressed". Also, in VisiLogic, any type of text element, such as Binary Text Switch can be made to look like a button. All Binary Text Switch in UniLogic appear totally flat, as best as I can tell. I am using the latest version of UniLogic (1.12.20), upgraded the UniStream 7 to the latest firmware, and my PC is 64-bit Windows 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find very nice switches in the library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 Flex727 Posted March 3, 2015 Author MVP 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Thanks, HigHTech. I'm looking for standard pushbuttons like you see in VisiLogic that need to have text on them. I don't really want to edit image files to add text for this purpose. Are you telling me there is no way for a Binary Text Switch to have a 3D button appearance in UniLogic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make my self the same question almost a year ago. Then I started to see Unistream and Unilogic like a new product and started from cero. Just after that I find the advantages of this great product. Check the type of displays I can create with Unistream. I am using images, and some text but not to look like buttons. I think my images are better.

Alexander Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 UniLogic does have the ability to layer multiple images/elements on the HMI display. This would allow you to place a binary text element on top of a binary image, which would hopefully work for your application. You would only need to ensure that the items are layered as desired from front to back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saragani Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Binary text element over a Binary Image element? A better solution is to have the background on the text in the Binary Text have a different background image (The Binary Text accepts both color and image as a background). It is lighter and makes it easier to maintain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
