How to insert a custom logo on the Kaleido-K2?
Inserting a logo and assigning it a custom image is different if you're editing an online Layout (i.e. if you are editing the Layout currently displayed by the Kaleido-K2) or if you're editing an offline Layout.
Inserting a custom logo while working with an online Layout
If it is not already opened in your KEdit, open the Layout on which you want to make the modification:
Now it is time to add the Logo Component and assign it the desired image:
- Click on the Logo icon from the Components toolbar.
- Click on your Layout where you want the Logo to appear and drag the mouse until the Component's size is what you need. You can resize the Logo Component by clicking on it and using the white squares and you can move the Component by clicking on it and dragging it where you want it to be.
- Open the "Configuration Panel" by pressing "F5" or by double-clicking on the Component or by selecting "Configuration Panel" from the "View" menu. Currently it should give you information on the displayed image, which is by default the Miranda logo.
- If your image is already in the list of available images, select it. If not, click on the "Add picture from file" icon located to the right of the list of available images. The "Add Logo Picture..." file picker should appear. Navigate to your image and choose it. Note that you navigate on the KEdit's machine, not on the Kaleido one. If your image is on another machine than the KEdit's one, navigate to it and select it.
- Click on the "Open" button. The dialog will close and the name of the file you selected will appear as the selected one in the list of available images. The image will be automatically copied to your Kaleido-K2.
- If needed, adjust the Transparency so it suits your needs.
- Click on the "Apply" button located to the bottom of the dialog.
Your logo should now display the image you selected. If your custom logo contains Black pixels (R=0, G=0 and B=0), then these pixels won't be visible on the Kaleido. This is useful when you have non-square logos.
You can assign the modified Layout to a preset. To do so using the Kaleido RCP press and hold the function key (those keys are located to the top of the device) for at least 6 seconds to associate it with the Layout. Using a keyboard connected to your Kaleido-K2 press a function key (F1 through F10) for at least 6 seconds to associate it with the Layout.
Inserting a custom logo while working with an offline Layout
If it is not already opened, open the Layout to modify by selecting "File" from the "Open" item of the "File" menu or by pressing "Ctrl-F".
The following steps will guide you through the addition of a Logo Component:
- Click on the Logo icon from the Components toolbar.
- Click on your Layout where you want the Logo to appear and drag the mouse until the Component's desired size is reached. You can resize the Logo Component by clicking on it and using the white squares and you can move the Component by clicking on it and dragging it where you want it to be.
- Open the "Configuration Panel" by pressing "F5" or by double-clicking on the Component or by selecting "Configuration Panel" from the "View" menu. Currently it should give you information on the displayed image, which normally is the Miranda logo.
- Click on the "Add picture from file" icon located to the right of the list of available images. The "Add Logo Picture..." file picker should appear. Navigate to the image to use and choose it. If your image is on another machine than the KEdit you're working on navigate to it and select it.
- Click on the "Open" button. The dialog will close and the name of the file you selected will appear as the selected one in the list of available images.
- If needed, adjust the Transparency so it suits your needs.
- Click on the "Apply" button located to the bottom of the dialog.
You should now see your customized Logo in your Layout. If your custom logo contains Black pixels (R=0, G=0 and B=0), then these pixels won't be visible on the Kaleido. This is useful when you have non-square logos. You can adjust the size and position of your Component. Save your modified Layout by selecting "Save" from the "File" menu or by pressing "Ctrl-S".
Applying the Layout to a Kaleido-K2
The Layout you modified now needs to be applied on a Kaleido-K2. Here are the steps to take in order to have the image file exported to the Kaleido-K2 as the Layout will be:
- In your KEdit with the Layout to apply opened select "Apply Layout Online" from the "File" menu or press "Alt-A". The "Apply Layout Online..." dialog will appear.
- Select the destination Kaleido-K2 from the list of the detected Kaleido-K2.
- In the "Exporting data from KEdit" area select at least "Images": this means that the image files used by your Layout will be copied to your Kaleido-K2.
- Click on the "Load" button.
Your Layout and the image files are now on your Kaleido-K2, and your Layout is currently displayed on the selected Kaleido-K2. You can assign the modified Layout to a preset key of the Kaleido RCP by pressing and holding one of the 10 function keys located at the top of the device for at least 6 seconds. If you're using a keyboard instead of the Kaleido RCP, press one of the 10 function keys (F1 through F10) on your keyboard for at least 6 seconds to assign the modified Layout to a preset key.
Please note that if a Layout is using a customized image and that this image is not present on the machine (either the Kaleido-K2 or the KEdit) where the Layout is used a default image indicating "Image Not Found" will be displayed in place of the absent image.
