I am designing some new rotary switch elements to use in a VST panel within Blue Cat's Remote Control app. Ideally these need to have a static text label next to each of the LEDs as you can see in an image I have taken of another app's control.

I have tried to design a similar rotary switch using KUIML, making the text next to each LED part of the .png filmstrip.
However the net result is quite fuzzy text.
I know I can show the selected value of the knob above or below the know but I want to have the support text for each LED always visible.
Is there a better way of doing such static labelling?
Thanks

I guess the best way to avoid getting fuzzy text (especially with variable zoom level) is to add these as text on top of the knob. You can use the <LAYER_STACK> cell and add your text values with absolute coordinates like this:

Code: Select all

<LAYER_STACK>
	<MY_KNOB>
	<TEXT value="1" v_align="top" h_align="left" h_offset="12" v_offset="15"/>
	<TEXT value="3" v_align="top" h_align="left" h_offset="15" v_offset="12"/>
	...
</LAYER_STACK>

That's good advice, I'll give it a try.
