Text Properties Suggestion

[Fiasco]

On my Stereo remote interface page, I have a text tool/field set aside
as an "LCD Readout" for information on Sleep timer, Frequency,
Listening Mode, Input Selected ect.

Would it be possible to add some field properties to the "Text
Properties" dialog?

Default state: Visible/Invisible

If default state is invisible, a field to enter the amount of time in
seconds that the text field should become visible when it's value is
changed.

Background image: an image for the background of the text field.

On my Onkyo/Denon interface that I wrote (before finding
CommandFusion) I have a field that shows the frequency. The
frequency always has priority over other information to be displayed
in that same field.

So, if I set the sleep timer on my Onkyo, "SLEEP 90" appears for 10
seconds before the display reverts back to the frequency. The same
goes for listening mode. When the listening mode is changed, the
text field shows the new listening mode for 10 seconds before
reverting back to showing the frequency.

If we had text fields in CF that could be set to only be visible when
the value is changed and to dissappear after a timeout period I could
stack multiple text fields to achieve the same effect.

The lowest text field could be my frequency and always be on/
visible. A second text field could be placed over the top of the
frequency text field which would show a sleep time, listening mode or
input change, display for X amount of seconds (covering up the
frequency textfield) before dissappearing.

You can use subpages to show/hide content as needed.

You can place an image behind a text or input field, no need for
background image properties.

You could also achieve the show/hide of text content programmatically
on your backend. Just send a blank string to the serial join when you
want to clear it, or send the value you want to replace it with.
