Title: Win32 UI element - Unable to change font and background color
Post by: Miso2018 on May 15, 2018, 02:53:12 pm

I need to change the appearance of some of the Win32 UI elements but after trying known options (F4, Set Font ,..) the element appearance stays unchanged. 
Could someone help please

Hi Miso


As an alternate for changing font in win32 ui element

Please Navigate to

Start -> Preferences ->DIagram Tab -> Appearance and change the font in Hand Drawn Mode ( EA13 )
Tools -> Options -> DIagram Tab -> Appearance and change the font in Hand Drawn Mode ( EA12 )

and then go to Diagram Properties -> Appearance ( In diagram Tab ) and Enable Hand Drawn mode and the font will be applied in your diagram.

Note : The problem here is the font will be applied to all the diagrams  in your model where the hand drawn mode is enabled   :-\ :-\

Note of caution - Changing global settings could disrupt a number of other diagrams, please be mindful of this.

Thanks guys. I tried the recommended options and it does change appearance, however being aware that it affects other diagrams I reverted back to initial element appearance.
