Widget: Plain Text

Overview

This widget is used to displays static plain text within an application. Depending on its location in the application layout, a Text widget is commonly used as:

  • Titles and/or headers preceding another widget
  • Descriptions for elements such as photos and graphical content
  • Labels for specific content in the layout

Editing A Plain Text Widget

Step 1

From an existing application, click on the widget from the selected layout or select it from the list of widgets on the right. To edit the widget in the Visual Editor, click on the Properties button at the bottom right. This will bring up the widget properties dialog.

Step 2

On the APPEARANCE tab, you will be able to view the layout of the widget. The right hand side of the page contains all the editable properties of the widget itself. In this tab, you are able to edit the properties in the COMMON section, as well as specific properties of the widget in the PROPERTY and STYLE sections.

Step 3

In the PROPERTY section, you can add/edit the text in the Text Context box. You can also add Dynamic Text by ticking the checkbox bearing the same label. In the STYLE section, you can also customize the text by using a variety of formatting options, including font type, size, alignment and color. Click on Apply to confirm the changes you have made.
