    Hi Anonymous,

    If this is the new format pane that's on by default in Desktop as of Feb (and assuming you're using a core visual for reference), I believe that there are no APIs for custom visual developers to mimic these layouts yet and properties will be need to be laid out like how the old pane handles them in this situation (same core visual with pane switched back to old):

     

    I have also asked the team previously, but have yet to get an ETA for this.

    If you're using a custom visual for your original screenshot, can you please provide which one you're using? I'm curious to see if other vendors have managed this somehow.

    Regards,

    Daniel

Hi Anonymous ,

Do you get any other more suitable ways to customize fonts from the custom visual support team? If so, could you please share it here if it is convenient? Then the other forum members with similar problems as yours can find the solution easily. Thanks in advance for your sharing and time.

Best Regards

So far it's been a deafening sound of silence. I am afraid I will never get an answer.

If and when I get an answer I will share it here.

      dm-p well that was what I expected. The option is not yet available for us as mere mortal developers ğŸ˜‰ but as there is a workaround I will cope.

      I don't know whcih visual I used for the screenshot but I am certain that it was one of the standard ones provided by Microsoft. That was already an indication of the situation.

       

      Thanks for the info and maybe the option will be added sometime.
