Portal Row Indicators
Sometimes it's the simple things that make you smile. When I first started using the trusty little diamond character, I was so pleased with myself - despite its lack of complexity. The old way of accomplishing things in the user interface typically involved using a container field with some image in order to make your interface look halfway decent.
Nowadays, you can find a lot of use in the vector based characters of fonts. On the web it's all the rage. They even have automated custom font builders which include various icons. Hopefully, some day, FileMaker will support embedding a font file into a FileMaker file and being able to use that within your solution.
Until that happens, we have to be content with the base set of fonts provided by the OS. There's still a lot there however.
This video is all about taking advantage of those little features like the diamond character. Combined with a little secret knowledge about how portals and tab controls work, and you can whip up a creative little interface!
