PDesign4 Touch Panel Design Software (v2.10 or higher)
Using chameleon images coupled with custom palettes to create Color Schemes requires the use of both
TPDesign4 and G4 PanelBuilder: Chameleon images are imported and applied to buttons (or popup
pages) in TPDesign4. Custom palettes are created in TPDesign4, and saved as part of the TPD4 project.
TPDesign4 is also required to export the project as a G4 PanelBuilder Template (*.TPT). However, the
primary benefits of these features are realized in the G4 PanelBuilder application (via the Project > Color
Schemes feature).
Not all TPD4 projects support the Color Schemes feature in G4 PanelBuilder. In order to utilize
Chameleon Images and Color Schemes in G4 PanelBuilder, the TPD4 project must meet several
requirements before being exported as a G4 PanelBuilder template file (via the File > Export as G4
PanelBuilder Template option):
The project must utilize at least one chameleon image (meaning that a chameleon image has
been applied to at least one button in the project). There are also several requirements for
images to allow them to be recognized as chameleon images by TPDesign4.
The project must include at least one custom palette (in addition to the default palette).
The project must include one preview image for each of the custom palettes that are included.
These preview images are used to display the color options that are available for this template
in G4 PanelBuilder.
Note that if the exported project does not meet these requirements, the Color Schemes feature
in G4 PanelBuilder will be disabled for this template.
When a valid TPD4 project file is exported as a G4 PanelBuilder template, and then opened in the G4
PanelBuilder application, the Project > Color Schemes option (in the G4 PanelBuilder application)
allows you to apply different color schemes to the template with a single click.
