UI addons/color?

[DominickC]

Hello -

I'm trying to expand the use of LabVIEW outside of FIRST, and I'm looking to create an application. How would I go about creating a good looking UI? I'd like to get rid of the light grey background on the front panel.

Thanks, Dom

I'm not sure what you mean by get rid of. If you mean make it a different color, select the coloring tool by shift-right clicking, and choose whatever color you'd like. You can also use decorations, like the dashboard does, and you can import JPEGs or other images and send them to the background. If you put an image in the background, you may find it useful to lock it to make editing other elements easier.
