Hello All,
as an PLC-Programmer I now like to test my acknowledge with programming Windows-Apps.

My first Idea to get an Idea how KiCad works I´d like to do the following:

1. I´d like to change the Symbol of the global label, but can´t find the definition of it;
2: Like to change the Style of the String of the (Sheetpath)-Object (change the "/" to "-" i.e)

Can somebody here give me a "starting help"?

Thanks a lot
Chris

Hi Chris-

The global label symbol is probably not up for changing without good reason (maybe you have one?).  It is drawn in `sch_painter.cpp`.

The sheetpath object string is similarly not likely to change but there, it is defined in multiple places and depending on what you're trying to fix, will determine where you change it.
