Enhanced Layer List Widget 3.4

Hi Robert,

I would like to make the text (layer list items) in your Enhanced Layer List widget larger. Would that tweak be in a file in the toc/tocClasses folder? or would that be in the eLayerListWidget.mxml?

Thanks for your time.

Eric,

In the TocItemRenderer.as in the commitProperties function your would use setStyle to set the "fontSize"

Thanks for your response Robert,
I found that changing the font/size in the main config file also produced the results I was looking for.

Eric:

What is the main config file you mention?

Does this mean you just need to modify a config file and not make any changes to source code that would require re-compiling the widget (This would be much easier and less risky)?

Michael,

We've added a couple lines in the style section of the main config (config.xml):

    <style>
        <colors>0xE6E3DA,0x4A5160,0x919BB0,0x90896B,0xE8DFB1</colors>
        <alpha>0.8</alpha>
<font name="Gill Sans MT" size="15" />
<titlefont name="Gill Sans MT" size="23" />
<subtitlefont name="Gill Sans MT" size="17" />
    </style>

I adjusted the size from 13 to 15 - HOWEVER, this does adjust the size for ALL widgets, etc (not the title and subtitle as the code would indicate)

Look at the documentation for a full list of tags:
http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-viewer/concepts/index.html#/General_UI_properties/01m30000005n000000/

Hope this helps

Eric:

Thanks for explaining the consequences of changing the config file instead of modifying the source code like Robert Scheitlin suggested.
