Trackbed Edge Colour

[Lancastrian]

Hi Martin,

Might there be an option at some point to allow the trackbed edge colour to be changed ?
As per the image below, I would like to change the colour to match those of the boundary rectangles to use as baseboard markers.

Regards,

Ian

Hi Ian,

You can do that now up to a point, although it is blindingly obscure.

On the control template on the screen, the trackbed edges appear in the same colour as the guide marks. Change it if you wish.

On background templates on the screen, the trackbed edges appear in the same colour as the platforms. Change that if you wish:

Unfortunately that is a global setting, so if you have any actual platforms, they will change colour too.

If you want to change the colour on the printed templates or other outputs, instead of using the trackbed edges function, use the real > parapets ... function (which are improvised as narrow platforms) to mark the trackbed edge. Set the front edge spacing to the desired trackbed dimension, and the width to a suitably small prototype dimension such as 1 inch. And then set the output platform colour.

I will look at adding an option for setting the trackbed edge colours directly, it would make a lot more sense than the above.

cheers,

Martin.

Hi Ian,

Will be in 236a soon:

Only on the screen trackpad as yet -- do you need it on the printed templates?

cheers,

Martin.

Morning Martin,

That's great, thank you for looking into this option and reacting so quickly.
