Tile Manipulation of Tiles in Layouts

Roger Skepple

In Libronix 3 I could size the tiles in a layout without impacting the size of the other open tiles.  I have now upgraded to Logos 5 and I am trying to style my layouts of resources they way I like, but am finding it difficult without knowing how to do this feature.  Is this possible in Logos 5 or is it lost forever?

Welcome Roger,

Go to the Layouts menu at top right and you'll see 5 images of basic tile arrangements as these will help devise a new layout. Note that a tile can contain many resources with tabs showing their identity (similar to Libronix).

You can't avoid impacting existing tiles when making changes, but you'll notice that the narrow vertical tile with a double thickness border can't be resized. It is created by items from the Tools menu and you can avoid having one on both sides by dragging tabs from one to the other.

One way to create a new tile is to drag a resource tab around the screen and notice the different (shaded) tile layouts that are possible. Release the mouse button to create a new tile (or drop it into an existing tile when the cursor is positioned amongst its tabs).
