Text Style

Changes the style of the text displayed. One of three text styles can be selected. By default, Short will be selected as the text style.

None - no text will display on the button

Short - the short description or name of the item will display on the button

Medium - the medium description or name of the item will display on the button

Custom - the custom description or name of the item will display on the button. Text will only display on the button with this style if custom text has been entered for the button, if no custom test is available then no text will display on the button.

Custom (with price) - the same as Custom, except the price of the item will be displayed on the button along with the custom text.

Note: Although you can change the font size, style, and colour for certain text elements in POS (for example, concession buttons), it's not possible to change these across the board, for fixed-text elements.

Image Align

Changes the alignment of the image that is displayed on the button. Several combinations of alignment can be selected. It is also possible to select that no image be displayed or the image fills the button.

Wrap Mode

Changes the way text and images display together on buttons.

Note: Wrap modes do not affect the positioning of text and images that have the Image Alignment set to Fill.

Several combinations of wrap modes are available:

Overlay - places the text on top of the image on the button

Text Above Image - places the text above the image on the button

Text Below Image - places the text below the image on the button

Text Before Image - places the text left of the image on the button

Text After Image - places the text right of the image on the button

Align

Used to align a selection of button, image and text box elements etc. The following sets of options are available:

Align Left, Centre, Right - moves the elements to line up to the most left or most right, or the centre point of the items. These options are good to use when aligning vertically selected items.

Align Top, Middle, Bottom - moves the elements to line up the most top, most bottom or the centre point of the selected items. These options are good to use when aligning horizontally selected items.

Distribute Vertically, Distribute Horizontally - evenly distributes the selected elements either horizontally or vertically (with even spacing between). Use vertical distribution for vertically selected items and horizontal distribution for horizontally selected items.

Match Size

Changes the size of the selected element to match the largest one either by Width, Height or Both (depending on the selection).

This is useful to make items the same size.

Bring to Front

Send to Back

Moves the selected element to the back to allow other items to be viewed in front. This is used when buttons, images and text boxes overlap each other and certain items need to display in front of others.
