Layouts have four subsections: Canvas size, Components, and Scenes.

...

Canvas size

The width and height of the layout canvas are specified here in pixel resolution.

Themes

Themes are used to modify the background, text colour and text font. The background image is scaled across the whole canvas size. Multiple themes can be attached to a layout but only one is active at a time.

All changes to the active theme properties are reflected in the layout after pressing the ‘Apply’ button.

...

Components

Components are the widgets that are drawn on the layout including labels, images, buttons, and groups of buttons called Content Grids. Each component can be selected by clicking on it in the Canvas edit section or by selecting it on the Properties tree view under the Components node. The currently selected component is highlighted with a green bounding box. The screenshot below shows an image type component with name ‘logo’ selected.

Layout - An additional feature in the content grid is the ability to add a content grid that will enable a user to switch between layouts by selecting a thumbnail. To do this you simply need to add a content grid and select the type “Layout”. The layout thumbnails will be automatically generated once a layout has been created and activated. The screenshot used will be automatically generated from the center of the layout.

...

Scenes

Scenes are content records that are designed to be easy to create, edit and delete and can be managed without using the Content user interface. All scenes are added to a special Content Grid called ‘Scenes’. Each scene is based on a template that determines the type of content it will launch. Scenes can combine 4 layers of content (movie or panorama, web, capture, external, and a custom command) which can all be launched at the same time and form part of the overall Igloo display.
