Multi-Panel Tab Simulator - Store more buttons in less space
Posted: 07 Jan 2014, 11:44
Here's a way to create MULTIPLE "tabbed" PANEL SETS so that they can alternately occupy the same screen space.
Attached you'll find two files:
1. a ZIP file: ABCDEFabcdef.ZIP containing a TVPaint file:ABCDEFabcdef.tvpp with icon-sized letters (upper and lower case) that can be grabbed for buttons.
2. a PDF file: Panel Tab Sets.PDF explains how to create four panels with four buttons each AND how to assign command pairs that toggle panels on and off.
There are two ways I've set up my own versions of the "tabbed" panels:
First, so they are part of the LEFT or RIGHT Panel Bins where you can create up to SIX! tabbed superimposed panels. The second way is to set up floating panels which can be as few as two or as many as six superimposed panels.

A row of buttons across the first row act like tabs. In the example with four buttons (A B C D) you can open any of the four panels by clicking on one or another of the buttons. Since the panels are stacked, they can all occupy the same screen space... and you can have four times the icons in the same space... especially useful to Android Tablet users AND Cintiq users.Attached you'll find two files:
