Hello,

I'd like to make a few comments about this superb program, which I use constantly:
Impossible to modify ‘FreeText’, I haven't found how?
Would it be possible to add ‘Blanks’ to leave gaps (and if possible several Blank1, Blank2, Blank3....)
Add the possibility of using the B612 font (open source https://b612-font.com/ created by Airbus for cockpits)
My HUD is displayed on a second screen, and when I change profile, the new HUD is displayed each time on the main screen. Is it possible to lock this, a bit like PopoutManager?

Thanks

Hello, glad it is of use for you
I refer to the HUDBAR quick guide below which are in the Manuals folder of the Zip File but I understand that, as it is only in English, it may not be the first thing you read if English not your language :) (it is not mine either...)
also here: https://github.com/bm98/FS20_HudBar/blob/main/doc/MSFS_HudBar-QuickGuide.pdf

re Free Text - Just click the 'TXT' Label for this item - you will see a box to enter the text - Leave with OK
See Page 30 TXT almost at the bottom in the HUDBAR quick guide

re Fonts - already there.. B612 Fonts need to be installed in Windows
In Config you may click 'Fonts' at the botton which opens the Font selection for ALL profiles
There click 'Label Fonts' to change the font for the labels or 'Value Fonts' to change for the value fields
The Dialog is preset to show it rather large - it will scale however according to the font size choosen later.
I tried it with Label Font B612 Size 30 and Value Font B612 Mono Size 32 - but you may prefer different sizes
Click OK and leave config with OK and the Bar is shown with the B612 Fonts
If you want to change the font for a only profile use 'Profile Fonts' in this profile and it will change for this profile only.
See Page 17 in the HUDBAR quick guide

re Gaps - I have to see if and how, right now there are Separators as divider lines in yellow and blue but not real gaps available.
Or a Break to a new Line or Column which is indicated in green in the Configuration.
See Page 25 in the HUDBAR quick guide
For real Gaps - please let me know which size you would like to see - and wether you use Left or Top bound layouts

re Startup position - it actually stores the current screen and location but when starting it checks if it is on that screen
BUT it seems a too strict about the left / top position. For now you may need to leave a small gap left and top (5mm or so)
I need to review this procedure and improve it for a future version

Kind regards

Thank you for your reply. I admit that I've read the manual, but it's my fault for having trouble reading it.

As for the Blank-type separators, they're mainly to make up for the gaps between the labels.
I'm using ‘left bound’ positioning and I'd like to be able to adjust the alignments better.
Ideally, a blank with the option of adjusting the height (2, 5, 10 pixels...).

For example, on the following drawing, in red, you can see the alignments that I'd like to make up for.

Thanks for your help

If I read correct you would like to have a better alignment of the row items and not really a gap.
I have to see how to make those items the same height so they aling without the help of the user because if you add one more the whole thing needs to be readjusted which is annoying...

I've seen another issue - the Flaps Graph should be the same Size as the Speed Brake one ... my bad..

let me see how to do this -the WindowsForms controls I use have sometimes their own mind :)
