I love UTC precisely because it does not go into the graphical way of presenting things. I use Panel Builder for some projects when graphical interface matters but I use UTC for many others things when functionnality is more important than the look of it. A tool does not need to look nice when it's powerful and efficient.

What I would like to see implemented in UTC is a dynamic way of managing inputs for widgets. I hoped the global variables would allow this but unfortunately it doesn't.

For example when you create a whole series of widgets, instead of setting them for a specific input in vMix, you can set it for a UTC managed input which would refer to a vMix input.
So basically you could do something like this :

- define a set of UTC inputs as variables
"MyUTCInput1" is any input in vMix
"MyUTCInput2" is any input in vMix
"MyUTCInput3" is any input in vMix
etc...
We could set this in the settings page or by creating specific widgets for this.

- now we can create widgets using the "MyUTCInputX" reference instead of a fixed input in vMix

This way everything would be much easier to update. For example I just wrote a UTC template to manage all vMixCalls aspects, so I have around 80 widgets (8 inputs x 10 commands). All these inputs are set for specific vMix inputs which by definition change for each project.
So to keep using it, I have to update my 80 widgets each time. That's time consuming and very frustrating.

It would so much easier if I could design my UTC project with dynamic inputs for my widgets. In 2 seconds I could say: OK today I need these 10 widgets to work for this specific input in vMix and it's done. And so on... No more need to update each widgets...

My 2 cts... Elgarf, if you can do this it's be great !

I understand that it is made as simple as possible....but 3D buttons are not important....just simple buttons....where the user can add a PNG icon to help in identifying items....and as DWAM said, I wish I could decide which input I want my widgets to link to, rather than having them in the same order as in vMix, as any time I adjust the placement of an input, I have to re-do UTC to match the vMix layout, and that can be very time consuming when you have many widgets linked to a specific input......but, like I said...was using this app from the time it came out, and am please with how it works....j

@Joeboe, you can add icon to button in UTC. There also can be different icons in released and pressed states now. I don't include default icons into UTC, because can't find good ones and don't want take them from Panel Builder, because it's unfair.

Not sure about input linking, you can link input to field/button/etc., move this input in vMix, and all will work.
Problems starting when you want to use controller with another preset, where input keys are differ, so you need re-link all widgets, and this is pain, I understood)

@DWAM, I think, I made global variables available into inputs selector/mapping. That's not hard, but there is a lot of helpers to select input, title number.

Now I just add features (that I've seen in Panel Builder or somewhere else), but looks like someday UTC should be rewritten in better way)

Check "Image" property of button widget.
Look at ButtonsDemo into examples directory.

Wow! That's great Elgarf! I will try asap, that's for sure ! Thank you so much !

Just to make sure :
- I use the Global Variables feature to set the inputs I want dynamic, like
myCall1 = {GUID}
- Then I use @myCall1 in the widgets input fields

Right ?

Do I have to use the GUID or simply the name of the input?

Oh thank you for this precision, it makes sense

A question, I read about the input variables, instead of seeing all the inputs, can you generate a list with those that are video or mp4 files, list of images?
It can be done ?
how?

Thanks

is there an API input select category? so that it gives me the inputs of those categories (all, red, green, blue)
If there is, how can I do it?
