Touch tab

You can display previous and next buttons on your touch screen surface.  This tab allows you to choose where the buttons appear, for example, the bottom centre of the touch surface. 

To change the design of these buttons then use the 'Buttons' tab instead. 

Options on this tab:

Position of buttons - Where within this control that the buttons appear.  Options include TOP LEFT,  CENTER CENTER, BOTTOM RIGHT, etc.

Orientation of buttons - You can choose either HORIZONTAL or VERTICAL.

Space between buttons - The number of pixels between buttons.  If the 'Orientation of buttons' is HORIZONTAL then this is the horizontal space, and if the orientation is VERTICAL then this is the vertical spacing.

Vertical padding - Once you have set the rough position of buttons using 'Orientation of buttons', you can use positive and negative numbers to adjust the positions of the buttons.  For example, buttons are often positioned BOTTOM CENTER, which is right at the bottom edge of the screen.  Putting in -10 in this box, will move the buttons up and away from the bottom edge slightly, which can give a nicer effect.

Horizontal padding - Once you have set the rough position of buttons using 'Orientation of buttons', you can use positive and negative numbers to adjust the positions of the buttons.  For example, buttons are positioned MIDDLE LEFT (with orientation VERTICAL) then setting this to 10 will move it away from the edge of the control slightly giving a better effect.


Quick change the size of buttons

There is also a 'Quick change the size of buttons' button.  This allows you to change the final size of all the buttons on the Buttons tab in one go.  Select your desired width and height and then click the 'Change' button.  Please note that if you change the shape of the button, then if the button is created by using Repeat Icons, then the display of the button will be different.  You may need to manually adjust buttons.  However, if you keep the same shape they will just scale up or down.  

For example, a 100x100 pixel button is square.  Changing the buttons to 200x200, which is also square, will just double the size.  If you change to 100x50 instead, then the shape of the button becomes a rectangle will display differently.
