Design defaults

A design laid out for 1.5M looks cramped when the stack reads 1,500,000. A prize table with room for €50 breaks when it has to show €50.00. Design defaults let the design say how numbers should be formatted on it, so the layout works the way you drew it.

Where to find it​

The designer toolbar with the cog button next to Manage Default Colors

1 — The cog button, right after Manage Default Colors in the sidebar toolbar.

The dialog​

The Design Default Settings dialog with Hide Cents switched on

1 — What these settings are. Suggestions that travel with the design. They only apply where nobody else has decided — see below.

2 — Checkbox. Tick a setting to make it part of the design. Unticked settings are left to the host and to UHT's standard values.

3 — Value. Switch the setting on or off. The canvas follows your choice right away, so you can see the numbers change while you design.

4 — Save stores the choice in the design. It is saved together with the design and travels with it when you export or share it.

Three settings are available: Abbreviate Large Numbers, Hide Cents and Hide Currency Symbol.

Suggestions, not rules​

A design default is the weakest of three voices:

  1. The design suggests a value — this dialog.
  2. The host's own default settings override it.
  3. The tournament controls override both while the tournament runs.

That is the intended order: the person who runs the tournament always has the last word, the host decides for all their tournaments, and the design fills in what nobody else set.
