Mastering Pixel Control in Q-Play: Enhance Your Displays

How to use pixel control in Q-Play.

Introduction

Pixel Control in Q-Play gives you detailed control over every individual pixel, allowing you to create dynamic and visually precise content for your information screens. This feature helps you fully customize layouts and achieve a polished, professional presentation.

Pixel control in apps

With Pixel Control, Q-Play allows you to adjust the placement and size of apps with pixel-perfect precision. This level of control makes it easier to create visually balanced and highly customized screen layouts.

Using Pixel Control, you can:
  1. Precisely position apps on the screen.
  2. Adjust width and height down to individual pixels.
  3. Fine-tune opacity and rounded corners.
  4. Customize background colors for better visual consistency.

By default, sizing and positioning use percentage-based values. If you prefer pixel-based editing, you can easily switch modes.

How to Enable Pixel Editing

  1. Select an existing app in your presentation, or add a new app.
  2. Open the Advanced Settings panel in the right-side menu.
  3. Here you can adjust:
    1. Size.
    2. Position.
    3. Opacity.
    4. Rounded corners.
    5. Background color.
  4. To switch from percentage-based editing to pixel-based editing, enable the Pixel Editing slider.
