Is it normal that it is not possible to increase the size of buttons and switches .
It would be nice if it is possible.

As I know not but I haven't tried 'user-defined bitmap'. Maybe with that you can define your own size.

Just had a time slot and played with the bitmaps. That seems to work! You can zoom those bitmaps but you have to design your own buttons/switches.

Hi hrd.
Thank you for your answer,I read about it in the help File however it only says that it is possible to increase the size not much documentation about it in the help file.
I am honest I have no idea to create the switches (where in what software) and how to create a bit map how do I do that.

If you have a switch in your project, go to the front panel, right click the switch and select properties.
In the representation select 'user-defined bitmap'. With that you will see a 'load bitmap for off status' and 'load bitmap for on status' below. There you have to load your bitmaps for off and on.

For a first start you can use Paint and draw something or write text for off and save it as bmp (do the same for on).
