I took the current 4-Inside-X layout and dis some modifications to make a single file work on everything from the Devo7e - Devo12. The Devo12 screen still need a bit of work but the basics are there and intact. It will display all four trims, Throttle, 3 timers, 8 channels and 6 toggle switches.

Place this in the .../layout directory and you can load it in the Main page config. You can also just copy and paste the appropriate section directly into your model file if you would like.

This one is for DSMx as these protocols have throttle on channel 1.

Right click and save link as. Use the same name that the file already has. This will save the .ini file to your local machine. In USB mode copy this very same file to the \layout directory on your DEVO transmitter. On the Devo10/8/12 you can then load your model, go to Main page config, scroll to Load and select the layout. Once you exit back to the main screen it will be showing. If you then save your model it will save the screen layout with the model file.

Thank you Waldo, great job.

To have the same R on the 128x64 the rudder toggle should use icon 3 and not 9.

I use Rudder D/R as my Throttle Hold so that's why it likely uses that icon. It is very easy to reach and remember when in a panic, Should only be like that on the Devo7/10 since I have a Devo10.

@marty - don't forget that this particular files uses Channel 1 as the Throttle as that is the more common DSM channel arrangement, the other file in the other thread uses Channel 3 as Throttle since that is the Walkera way.

No, I mean to be consistent on all screens should use the same icons as far as possible as per your idea. You have the R on the Devo8 screen but the Th on the Devo10. My proposal was to make it the same. In which way I do not care :) .

I would consider changing the icons for Rudder DR but the only R that matches is the R with a down arrow, there is no R up arrow in the Devo7/10 Toggles. Personally I do not care much for the toggles as they are, I think they are too big and should have been more icon like, some also don't seem to make any sense to me and seem of little value. But I don't have a better way of doing them so I am not suggesting any changes.
