Moving Helios panels pop-up to new monitor

[AaIiGee]

I’m using modified Gadroc’s A-10C Single Touch Screen helios profile in my 4 monitors T-shape configuration (more here). Now I would like to get e.g. hiden left console to pop-up to lower left corner of the upper monitor. I have two ideas on how to do that:

 

1) Launch the left console pop-up panel from “left console handle” of monitor 2 (lower single monitor) and to define new cordinates for opening it up to monitor 1 (upper 3 monitors). I’m quite new with Helios, but it looked like that I can define top and left cordinates only for monitor 2, where the launch handle locates.

 

2) To copy left console panel and the handle to monitor 1 and to make it work at the same way how it did inside monitor 2. I tried that, but it’s not as simple that I hope... Of course I can copy left console panel (at least the most of it, but I didn’t manage to copy background, how to do that?) and the handle, but they are not connected together and I can’t hide left console panel by pressing the handle. My question is how to connect them to work together in a same way how they worked in monitor 2?

I do not have experience width this A10C profile, but probably the left console is a helios panel. If thats the case you can copy it to the other monitor, but helios is gona rename the new panel.

So, if you copy aswell the launch handle, you need to check the outputs binds of the handle, and point it to the new panel name.

 

 

For the Background problem, check if the image is the background of the panel itself, or if is an image decoration, usualy need to be in the panel itself, or inside the panel as a image, but, you now, there are no rules on that.

if you dont find it, just add a new image at the bottom of the panel hierarchy (or top, depens how Gadroc did) and select the image of the background from the hd.

 

Hope thats help.

Is it so that on right hand window there are two panels and on left hand window only a group of many objects? If it’s like that then the left console is not a panel. Does it mean that I can’t get it work with handle on other monitor?

 

I also noticed that those panels on right hand window are very easy to copy to the other monitor and it’s not possible to modify them.

the left console is a panel. the list are the objects inside the panel. to copy the panel you need to doit selecting the left panel from the main monitor view. dont click twice on it , or you enter inside the panel. just click once on the panel on the main window. then copy, click in the desired monitor and then paste it.
