Designing with NevoStudio Pro Working with Buttons
Working with Buttons
Buttons allow you to add functionality to a page. Create buttons to navigate
to different pages or perform device actions.
There are two types of button images:
• Non-paired images, which are the same for the up and down states.
• Paired images, which consist of two states: up and down.
up
If a button is up, it is not currently being touched. This is the default button
appearance. If a button is down, it is currently being touched. Only the up
state shows in the gallery, but if you pause your mouse over the button, the
down state appears.
You can use buttons from the gallery included with NevoStudio Pro, or you
may create your own. See “Working with Button Images” on page 112.
As you add buttons to a page, think about how your clients will use the
buttons. Consider putting the buttons used most frequently near each other,
either at the top or the bottom of the screen. Also consider grouping buttons
on different pages (such as all the devices located in a particular room, or all
the devices necessary to watch a movie). Be careful not to make the
groupings too complicated.
Adding Buttons to Pages
There are multiple ways to add buttons to a page:
• individually via drag-and-drop from the button gallery
• as a related group of buttons from the key group gallery
• via drag and drop from one page to another page in the Job View panel
in either the currently selected job or any other currently open job file
• via copy/paste to any other page
down
Installer Tip: Dragging and dropping (or copying and pasting) from one page
to another will place the buttons in the same relative position on
the new page.
Installer Tip: If you drag and drop (or copy and paste) buttons from a
Nevo S70 to a Nevo Q50 any buttons, the buttons on the lower part of
the Nevo S70 screen will be relocated so that they are visible at the
