Font/Size/Color

These options set the Font typeface, Font Size, and Color (foreground and background) for the UI features listed. For touch screen use, apply a large font size to accomodate the size of a typical finger tip.

If you will be swapping between large fonts and small fonts for different usage scenarios (ex. kiosk vs admin editing), you may find it productive to create Favorite Fonts and Favorite Colors in the Tools menu.

  • Requests Label - For the label that shows number of cues currently in the Player Request queue. (displayed to the right of the large play control buttons)
