Adding Controls to Favorites

steve clark

i was playing around while watching the World Series the other night and remembered something that Mark Barnes had shared about adding scaling to favorites. As you can see below his suggestion can be expanded to use other controls which make it quick and easy to select/deselect. Most of these can be added via drag & drop from the command bar (e.g. start typing in the command in the Command bar and when it appears in the drop down menu, use your mouse to drag it to Favorites)

 

EDIT: in the above image i had renamed the Background commands, but if you type set resource panel background to in the command box you will see those commands

i particularly find Backgrounds and Scaling useful when presenting this before others in a Bible study on a large LCD TV when the text appears too small. Then afterwords i can return easily to my normal viewing mode.

The scaling changes all my windows/tabs sizes with a single click which is much faster than trying to use the individual tabs scaling sliders.
