    I setup Soundflow to control Stream Deck and am NOT using the Stream Deck app. Is there any way to change fonts, fonts sizes or font colors on my Stream Deck keys?

      Hi Mark,

      Unfortunately, this is not yet implemented. It is however on the road map. :-)

      You can however create your own custom buttons graphics in sketch or photoshop and paste them into your commands icon field.

      Great suggestion :-)

          I agree with this sentiment. Is there an update on when you plan on implementing a color/font option? It would be a huge help. I'm using Stream Deck XL.

            Hi @Micah_Loken,

            Thanks for the feedback. This is on the list of future SoundFlow improvements :-)

          You can also use the Elgato Key Creator website to quickly create buttons - there's a selection fonts/color/icons you can use.
          Just design it and then right-click the preview option to copy it. Switch the the SF editor and paste it.

              @Kitch is there somewhere online that we could access the graphics that are used in all of the Soundflow Pro Tools packages so we can design our own icons with the same look? Also, would you be able to tell me the font type and size used? (I'm mainly talking about the icons for the track menu buttons, etc.). Thanks.

                Hi @Chris_Baseford,

                We don't have a repository for these icons at the moment, but you can easily create similar ones with the following settings;

                You mentioned that you are interested in the Track Menu buttons specs, I've made a comprehensive amount of icons for these. Are there options missing from the ones I've created (see image below)? Or are you after other details.

                You can find these in the Pro Tools package under "Track Functions" => "Create New Track(s)".

                As for the button specs, I'll follow up later today :-)

                Rock on!

                    Thank you for the reply. I basically just want to create some icons to match the ones you have already done. Or add icons to some of the templates that are already created, but don't have icons (eg: create new/recall from track presets). I attached an image:

                    I think most of the macros I'm using are "stock", just want the deck to look cohesive and consistent with the icons. I could probably create most of what I need once you let me know the font type, size, etc. :)

                      Sounds good @Chris_Baseford, I'll provide some details asap :-)

                        Hi @Chris_Baseford,

                        Here goes :-)

                        I made all the icons in Sketch.


                        I first start by making a black rectangle
                        Dimensions: 144px x 144px

                        I then create another rectangle inside that;
                        Dimensions: 138px x 138px in size
                        Color: Hex “#252525”
                        Corner Radius: 13px (Rounded)

                        So together looks like this (it's subtle but worth it me thinks);


                        The font specs I used for a majority of the of the icon titles is as follows;

                        Font: Arial
                        Weight: Bold
                        Font size: Around 20-24px.
                        Font Color: Hex “#BEBEBE”

                        I hope that helps, legend :-)

                      This is PERFECT, thank you :)

                      Not sure if someone has started one yet, but it could be cool to have a shared dropbox or something where we can post our icons for others to use.

                        A repository for icons is a great idea. Be sure to add it to the "Ideas" section of the forum so we can keep it in mind for future SoundFlow versions. :-)

                          Hi
                          Is this repository a thing yet?
