Labels/Names are Invisible unless you choose a Font!
You can choose to name a button, but not have it display the name. In fact, this is the default
condition of any button you create via the Add Button command.This is useful with a button
that has artwork that displays the name (loaded as an Icon).You don’t want a label to be super-
imposed on your artwork; yet you want to be able to identify your button within the Alias navi-
gational window. Names/Labels without a font still appear correctly in the Alias window! A font
must be selected from the drop down list if you want the name/label to appear on the button.

Active and Inactive Icons
These windows control what you will see in RC5000 Setup when a button is Inactive (the
action list is empty) or Active (you’ve already programmed the button). In the default configura-
tions in this new version of RC5000 Setup, the same icons are used for Active and Inactive.
Instead of consuming memory with additional art, we opted to indicate whether a button is
Active or Inactive via the color of the text.We used White text for Active buttons and Light
Grey Text for Inactive buttons. However, you may create your own buttons with unique artwork
just to indicate that the button has not been programmed yet.The art for Version 1 is pro-
grammed this way (You can access the old button styles in the Gallery under the listing
“Zoldbuttons”). Although the artwork you load may be completely different looking for each of
the four states, they all must be the same size. If you load different sized icons into the same but-
ton, RC5000 will only display the smallest size (the larger icons will be cropped). See page 54
for more information on creating your own icons.
