Link Widgets

The Karabo GUI has three different flavors of so-called link widgets.

• Scene Link (grey)

• Device Scene Link (blue)

• Web Link (pink)

All widgets can be distinguished by the cross color on the top left. Both, the Scene Link and the Web Link can be created from the scene toolbar. The Device Scene Link is more special. For this widget, a property named availableScenes has to be dragged from a device configuration (Configurator) onto the scene. The widgets can then be mutated into the desired link widget.

Note

Generally, the widget configuration offers a background color, font, text etc.
