Steps

For scripting basics, see: Show Control System: How do I create script buttons?

  1. Create a new or edit a button in a Scripting Container or a Quick Display container.
  2. Right click and choose Show/Hide Thumbnails to review the default/existing thumbnail.
  3. Click on the Film Strip icon in the upper right corner of the button.
  4. Choose browse to select an image to use as a thumbnail.

    1. The default thumbnails are stored at C:/Program Data/ Daktronics / Default Thumbnails, but users can browse to another location for their own images.

See animation below for how to import a custom thumbnail for your Display Studio buttons.

The example above uses a  400 x 300 PNG.  Larger images may be cut off.
