How to change the background of a Layout?

It is possible to use a custom image as a background to your Layout. You can do it while editing an online or offline Layout.

Changing the background of an online Layout

If it is not already opened in your KEdit, open the Layout for which you want to change the background:

Now it is time to change the displayed background:

Your background should now be display the color or the image you selected.

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.

Changing the background of 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 modification of the background:

You should now see your customized background in your Layout. Save your modified Layout by selecting "Save" from the "File" menu or by pressing "Ctrl-S".

Applying the Layout to a Kaleido-K2

If you choose to display an image in the background of your Layout, the image file containing the image will need to be stored on your Kaleido-K2 in order for the Layout to be properly displayed when exported to the Kaleido-K2. Here are the steps to take in order to have the image file exported to the Kaleido-K2 along with the Layout:

Your Layout and the image files are now copied on your Kaleido-K2. The Layout that is currently displayed on the selected Kaleido-K2 is the Layout you just applied. 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.
