Making Global Changes to all Screens in RightBooth

Updated: May 2024

How do you make global changes to all screens in an event?  This is where the Formatter Toolbox comes in handy.  ​We'll explain how to use the Formatter by way of answering some of the questions we've been asked on the subject.

My event screen does not completely fill the monitor screen.  Can I alter the size of the event screen to correct this?

You might experience this situation if you have previously created an event and then subsequently altered the size and/or the orientation of your Windows monitor.  For example you might have an event that was created for a landscape oriented monitor but then you want to run it on a portrait oriented monitor.  So you might want to correct something like this...

First, alter the W and H of the Start screen. In the Screen Editor, open the Screen Properties Toolbox and set the W and H values to match the pixel size of your monitor.
Then on the Screen Editor Toolbox, click the Formatter checkbox to show the Formatter Toolbox
On the Formatter Toolbox, click the button:
Same screen sizes:

I've altered the background on one of the event screens.  Is there an easy way to add the same background to all the other screens?

Once you have altered the background on any screen you can then apply the same background to all the other screens in the event.  To do this:

• In the Screen Editor, make sure you are editing the screen that contains the required background
• On the Toolbox, click the Formatter checkbox to show the Formatter Toolbox
• On the Formatter Toolbox, click the button: Add background to all screens

I've changed the size and position of the camera item on the Start screen.  How do a change it to be the same size and position on all the other screens in the event?'

• In the Screen Editor, make sure you are editing the Start screen.
• Click on the camera item to select it
• On the Toolbox, click the Formatter checkbox to show the Formatter Toolbox
• On the Formatter Toolbox, click the button: Same items have same size on all screens
• When the changes have been made, return to the Start screen
• Click on the camera item again to select it
• On the Formatter Toolbox, click the button: Same items have same position on all screens​

Using this approach you can select any item on any screen, and then use the Formatter to apply its size, position and design to all items of the same type, on all the other screens in the event,

​So as another example, if you design a button item on one screen to have a particular image, icon, and shadow, you can then use the Formatter to quickly and easily make all the buttons in the event have the same design.

I've changed the font name and font size of a button text prompt on the Choices screen.  ​How do I make the same changes to all the other text prompts?

• In the Screen Editor, make sure you are editing the Choices screen
• Click on the text prompt whose properties you wish to apply to the other prompts
• On the Toolbox, click the Formatter checkbox to show the Formatter Toolbox
• On the Formatter Toolbox, tick the font name and font size check boxes and un-tick the font properties checkbox
• Click the button: Same items have same font on all screens

We hope you can see that the Formatter Tool helps with design productivity when you need to make global changes to your event screens and screen items.
