 ===== Screen Editing and Configuration ======
+//The default preset GUI for myCNC profiles is described in the following manual: [[mycnc:mycnc_screen|MyCNC Profile Screen Description]]//
 In this manual, we will be going through all the different elements that can be used to display (and interact with) the necessary information on the myCNC screen. Sample examples for the step-by-step screen configuration of myCNC software are available [[mycnc:mycnc_screen_configuration:screen_configuration_examples|here]].

+A text element can serve as a button as well as an icon, with the following code being an example of such a layout:
+<code XML><gitem where="ns" title="LOAD" fontFamily="Open Sans" fontSize="18" fontStyle="normal"
+ image-normal="ns3/button-133x40" image-hovered="ns3/button-133x40" action="open" type="button"
+ position="4;340"
+ width="133" height="40" /></code>
+The button in the case of the example above will look the following way:
+{{:mycnc:screen-config-035-text-button.png}}
+In here, the overlay element is the ''title'' line, which will display some text on the user's screen, while the underlying layer is composed of an image (using ''image-normal'' and ''image-hovered''). If so desired, a button with no image layer can be created by simply using the ''title'' element alone.

+====Fonts====
+For the default profiles to align the text properly, Google's Open Sans is recommended to be installed on your workstation. This font comes pre-installed on our Ubuntu MATE builds, but may need to be installed separately on Windows machines.
