You can use the Button Pen tab of the Mimic Properties window to define the default settings for the text that you add to buttons on Mimics. This is useful when you know that you need to add multiple buttons to a Mimic, each containing text of the same type, color and with the same flashing effects. Rather than configure the pen settings for each button separately, you can define the default pen settings for buttons. After doing this, each button that you add will already have the default settings in place. You can make further adjustments to each button by configuring its own settings separately if required.
Depending on the method that you use to display the Mimic Properties window, the settings you define will be applied to:
- New Mimics on your client PC (if you access the Mimic Properties window via the Options window—see Defining the Default Mimic Properties for New Mimics).
- A specific Mimic (if you access the Mimic Properties window via the Properties option or command on a Mimic—see Defining the Default Mimic Properties for a Specific Mimic).
When you have displayed the Mimic Properties window using the appropriate method for your needs, define the Button Pen settings as required. The various Button Pen settings work in the same way as the similarly named settings on the Pen tab of the Button Properties window (see Editing a Button).
