How to make the VCP buttons bigger

Post by JFlint »

I have read through the manual and watched the youtube videos about how to customize the VCP. And I have yet to see anything about how to make specific buttons bigger.

I know that it likely has something to do with a span (code) for a button. I have tried to replicate the span sequence that it shows for images and borders, but it doesn't seem to work for <button>. I know that its possible because I watched a video of a guy changing other parts of his machine and I saw his controller with the bigger "Cycle Start" button that appeared to span 2 columns and 2 rows... :D Can anyone help me out with the correct code to put into the file?

Any help is appreciated.

Pgs. 34 and 35...

For example, the following creates a larger cycle start and cycle cancel (2x2).

<button row="9" column="5" row_span="2" column_span="2">cycle_start</button>
<button row="9" column="1" row_span="2" column_span="2">cycle_cancel</button>
