3. Changed items

3.1. Color palettes

This project uses different color palettes. However the functionality behind is still the same.

3.2. Buttons

The buttons are no longer normal buttons only. The Exit and Reload Button for instance are
zenon Symbols. If you want to know more about the settings of those elements, please check
the project symbol library.

3.3. Navigation

The navigation was changed to a proper navigation. The Hall screen uses a subnavigation.
Therefore an own frame and screen was added.

3.4. Screen active variables

All menu buttons, and some of the status bar, are now linked to a screen active variable. An
own datatype for the screen active variable was created. This datatype is used to control the
colors of the active/inactive buttons.

3.5. Unit switch

The buttons for the unit switch have been linked with screen active variables as well. In order
to change the value of those variables, zenon scripts have been added. The scripts trigger the
unit switch and active the correct screen active variable.

3.6. Color switch

Also the buttons for the color switch are now linked to a script, like the unit switch.
