FREE Stream Deck Buttons and Icons for Logos Bible Software

Hi David,

It's a powerful tool for ministry, personal, or business use.

A Stream Deck is a Programmable LED Keyboard with unlimited Profiles, Folders, and Buttons. It was originally designed for Video Editing, Production, Rendering, and Streaming -- but it's taken off and can be used for literally anything you can imagine. There are 3 versions: 6-keys, 15-keys, and 32-keys.

PROFILES - When you activate a program on your PC, the Stream Deck instantly changes to all the buttons associated with that program. One creates a default profile that is always active if there's no profile for the currently active program.

FOLDERS - Unlimited folders that can be nested within each other -- so literally you can have 1000's of buttons.

BUTTONS - Each button can be programmed to do anything you can imagine -- you can have unlimited buttons, and each button has its own LCD Screen; you can drag-n-drop any .jpg or .png right onto a button to instantly create its icon. Also, a button can have limitless commands. One button could open multiple programs > set any computer setting you can imagine (e.g. Default Mic & Speaker) > set your hue lights to a certain scene, color, and brightness level, and on and on. The screens for each button are phenomenally sharp and anybody can create their own icons for free here: www.elgato.com/en/gaming/keycreator

BUILT-IN - One can create Key Combinations, Macros, etc for any program. However, there's instant built-in support for Spotify, Pandora, Hue Lighting, Timers, and many others -- and developers are coding new and wonderful free goodies all the time.

I hope this helps!

I use a small keypad which is set up to use with logos

Each key is set to a logos function,

Cost about £30.00

Stream Decks are more powerful

Hey Michael, Thanks for sharing! This is really neat and very affordable. I'm assuming there are no folders - so you use this only for Logos? If so, pretty neat that you have your own dedicated programmable keyboard just for Logos!

Still playing around with the different layers

Yes

dedicated programmable keyboard Ist layer for Logos

No folders you do get 3 layers Each layer as 24 keys

The keys do not interfere with my main laptop keyboard

Each layer can have a different led colour showing in the background

Layer 1 for main Logos tools led colour blue

Layer 2 for CorelDRAW tools led colour red

Layer 3 for logos markup led colour light blue

Layers use rgb led colour you can use any colour

you can change to a different layer by programming a key to go to the next layer

The leds change to the colour you have set

I have set a key to use with a custom mark up image which is set to use

a Logos note book. I use this as a way to keep book Marks for resources

LOGOS LAYOUT SWITCHER

Hi Mick, That's a phenomenal idea -- a Layout Switcher! I've been messing around and trying to figure out how to do this but so far unsuccessful.

I found a Keyboard Shortcut here: https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016370932-Keyboard-Shortcuts#%E2%80%9CLogos_Mac%E2%80%9D Alt+A — Open/close Layouts... but it doesn't seem to do anything in my Logos 8 [*-)]

Also, I can't seem to access layouts from an alternate Menu Command from Guides or Tools (e.g. Alt+T>Layouts; Alt+G>Layouts; etc).

If you figure something out, please let me know. I'll have a shortcut button for every one of my primary layouts. I did create a Keyboard Shortcut on my Stream Deck for Saving a Layout; unfortunately it's CTRL+ALT+L which was originally my Windows System Shortcut to launch the Logos program -- so I had to unbind it. I wish that Logos Keyboard Shortcuts were able to be manually assigned.

Icons artwork are amazing... The icons are all vector drawings

Are you saying that you can't use my icons (.jpgs / .pngs) because your programmable keyboard only accepts vectors?

hoping to able to press a key which will load a saved layout

Hey Mick,

I just discovered that our saved layouts are accessible from the Command Box. I don't know if you can do multi-layered Macros (multi-action) in your programmable keyboard, but I found a way to do this via brute force, but it's a little slow (not instant as it takes a second to type the name of the layout). Once I create one button, I can just duplicate with copy / paste -- and change the "layout name" in subsequent buttons:

ALT+D
"layout name"
Enter

After reading the first post I bought a Stream Deck, and have started to play around with it. Here's what I have so far.

The top row opens apps: Logos, Scrivener, Proclaim, Google Earth, Chambers Thesaurus) and files: Sermon Prep (a FileMaker Pro database I use for planning and some outlining) and Worship Music (an Excel database I use to plan music Sunday by Sunday). There is also an Accordance button on the right; I use Accordance primarily for the Atlas.

On the left are two Command Box buttons that use Keyboard Maestro to set the Logos Program size to 125% and to open my Matthew study layout (I'm currently preaching through Matthew).

I have a study timer on the right; it's set for 50 minutes, after which I get up, stretch, get a cup of coffee, say hi to the wife, etc.

The bottom row opens a couple of different Logos forums I check out consistently, a link to the Logos Wiki page, and then Messages, Mail, and a Keyboard Maestro button.

It ain't cheap, but I think the Stream Deck is going to be an asset to repetitive tasks.

Fantastic; thanks so much for sharing the different ways you're already using this. Every time I think I've finished customizing the Stream Deck, I think of another repetitive task or shortcut that would maximize my time. At this time I've got about 280 buttons programmed. Please let me know if you end up using any of the buttons I've created.

One neat thing I've done is organizing Mail in Outlook. I press a button that applies a Colored Category Tag > and then Moves the Email into a Certain Folder. Super helpful.

I’ll do that.

Hello,

May I ask how you configured Keyboard Maestro to change Logos' program size and open your study layout? I'm stuck on this step and can't figure out how to do this.

Thanks!

My pleasure.

1) In the Stream Deck app, type "Key" in the search bar. Open automation, and you'll see Keyboard Maestro:

2) Drag Keyboard Maestro to your chosen spot:

3) Give it whatever title you would like it to have; don't worry about Button ID, Virtual Row, or Virtual Column

4) Go into Keyboard Maestro and find the macro you want to assign to the button:

5) Click on New Trigger, and choose USB Device Key Trigger

You the box that opens up will say "none." Select it, and then press the key on your Stream Deck. The Trigger will show "Stream Deck" followed by the coordinates of the button:

Every once in a while you might have to delete the trigger and start that part over again. Make sure that after you select New Trigger you don't touch any button except the Stream Deck button you want to assign. Oh, and if you drag the Stream Deck button to a new location you'll have to reassign the button.

I've uploaded steps; Logos wants an admin to review it first, probably because Stream Deck is a third-party product, but it shouldn't be long.

You know, I should have read your post more carefully!

Here's a screen shot of one of my layout loading macros. There are four steps:

1) Activate Logos (it's probably already at the front if you want this, but I like to make sure).

2) Type Option+Command+L to put the cursor in the command bar in Logos.

3) Type the text you want. For my example, it's "Load Matthew Sermon" – Matthew Sermon is the name of my current study layout.

4) Type the Return keystroke.

To perform other actions (open other layouts, resize the program size, etc., just replace "Load Matthew Sermon" with whatever text is appropriate. Type it in the command bar yourself first and make sure it's correct, and then pop it into Keyboard Maestro. When I create a new macro, I just duplicate an existing macro, change the name, update the text field, and change the trigger.

Thank you for that, i'm a brand new user of stream deck XL. Do you think you can also share your profile ? (export) ?

Thank you

Yann

I don't see a way to share the profile with you directly on Logos. Here's a screenshot of the current setup.

Detail, Voices, and Sermon are custom layouts I use in Logos.
Search opens a search panel.
Treas. Scripture Knowledge opens that to the current Bible reference.
Sermon DB opens a Filemaker document that I use to plan my sermon calendar.
Large Screen changes the Program display size (in settings) for a large screen.
Close All closes every panel in Logos.
Create Link creates a hyperlink in a note.
Update Layout updates the current layout in Logos.
I have shortcuts to Scrivener, a thesaurus app, Accordance (if I can say that here), the Oxford English Dictionary, BBEdit, and Word.
I also have shortcuts to various Logos forums.

No problem. I tried to upload them here but am receiving an error. Can you shoot me an email? (I'll shoot you my Logos Profile and my overall Stream Deck Profile)

John Connell

Thank you Scott,

Just got my Stream Deck on Tuesday and am having a great time populating the buttons. This is a great help!

-john

So glad to hear it John! I hope you love it. It takes a little work to setup (especially if you're a perfectionist like me) [;)] -- but once it was all up and running, it has worked flawlessly for me. And it really is a great time setting it up, and using it. It's Logos on steroids from a workflow perspective.

Just uploaded a new version... well over 700 icons now. But most importantly, the PowerPoint Source file is included.

Added icon images for the following programs:
- OpenRGB
- DisplayFusion
- Philips Hue
- Google Home
- Etc.

Please use the download link in the first post. Here are a few screenshots of some of the newer icons. Blessings!

I have been trying this out. I have all the same settings for opening a layout but it doesn’t open after Logos starts. If I run the macro a 2nd time with Logos open, it does open the layout. It almost seems like it is running through the commands too quickly.

I am still trying to determine if pushing a few buttons saves any time while working in Logos. So far it seems I am just creating shortcuts for buttons that are already in Logos.

The tech geek side of me wants to keep playing with this though...

Hi Tim! Sorry for the late response. You've raised some great points...

Opening a Layout - Are you suggesting that you want a button to A) Launch Logos ... and then Load a layout? If so, you will need to add a Stream Deck delay. I rarely use Stream Deck to launch apps (I do have some that launch a host of files and apps but not for Logos). I generally use the Stream Deck buttons for macros that run after the app is launched; I don't have any problems with Stream Deck moving through commands too quickly, but again, delays may be helpful.

Pushing a Few Buttons Save any Time - I'm a keyboard maniac; I'll never use the mouse unless I absolutely must; I (insanely) have 100's of keyboard shortcuts (I have an entire map to help me with them all). But there are things I do in some apps (such as Logos) that I simply don't use frequently enough, to commit to my already overburdened shortcut memory real estate (in my brain). Of special note, my Logos Stream Deck Keys, have the built-in keyboard shortcut written right in the icon -- so everytime I use a Logos Stream Deck command, I can memorize the keyboard shortcut -- that is, actually, the Logos icons are an entire illuminated map (legend) of the Logos Keyboard Shortcuts.

Tech Geek Side - Indeed; it's just fun to have a separate, illuminated, quick access keyboard - just for Logos!

How do you set this up with Logos?

Hi Conrad, Please see the 3rd post in this thread Wed January 15, 2020 11:44 AM.

Blessings,

Thank you for these! I'm not sure how I want to use my deck with logos, quite yet, but I know it'll be a gamechanger! Thanks for the head start. Do you have ny use-case videos or anything?

@Mike Brown (Logos), have you seen this? :)
