GUI (graphical user interface) PhantomOs

Recommended Posts

Are there any plans to optimize the GUI of the PhantomOs?

I use it in the moment to edit my FLX S Show Files. And i think the caption of the buttons are not realy good. It's hard to read on windows.

Since you must use a window for the internal touch and the external touch to read the values, the internat display on the fader desk view takes screen size but brings not realy help. So it would be better if could arange the windows and buttons so, that i can read the values and take control. So a few arrangements would make the GUI more useable.

In the moment i alwyas switch between the windows back and force to control and see the values. Normal it should be possibe to arrange the windows on a full HD Display so, that i have all control over all.

I use: Zero 88 FLX S48 / ETC ColorSource 40 / GLP Creation 4096 / Chamsys MQ70 / Madrix

No one interessted in a optomized GUI?
 

ETC has just released a PC Offline Software for their Color Source Desk series. I have tested the Color Source 40 Version. It's a single window design. But works good on a FullHD display.

Hi Erics,

There are many improvements we wish to make to PhantomZerOS including GUI improvements and keyboard shortcuts.

Hopefully you'll find ZerOS 7.9.5 improves this too, adding many GUI improvements to Setup and other settings windows. 

Any queries let me know,

Edward

There are currently no plans to bring this to Solution/Leapfrog consoles. Leapfrog and Solution consoles are combined on Phantom ZerOS, and so have the black background of the Solution consoles.

Hi Edward, I understand that they look like the latest refresh of the boards since we use a solution ourselves, however for someone who doesn’t know the board inside out not having button labels does somewhat complicate things a little. (Also please let me know if that’s an issue with me installation if I’m wrong 😅)

Many thanks,

Henry

If you hover your cursor over a button, the button's function will be displayed at the top of the Front Panel window in the title bar.

You will also be able to use some keyboard shortcuts to control Phantom ZerOS as well. Please see the link below for more information...

Hope this helps,
