Studio Panel Config

Would be helpful to opt to remove or reduce the size of the widgets in the footer so that (for example) only the SMS feed appeared on the screen. It looks a bit cluttered at the moment. It would be good to be able to lock the screen so presenters cannot add or delete blocks willy nilly (should be an administrator function). I find the clock seconds display distracting without the leading zero as the display changes width every time it reaches the 10 seconds! Also the humidity reading appears partly hidden in the display next to the temperature...
The way we would use the studio display is for it to be loaded permanently as a generic logon that any presenter could use as we don't see a real need for individual presenter logons. The schedule should allow presenter names to be inserted whether they are logged on users or not, as many of our programs are pre-recorded or automated. Without anyone in the studio, we would still value being able to monitor/record SMS and social media posts during those programs and the studio panel can be viewed by remote access tools.

Thanks for updating your post! I see your feedback now, much appreciated.
We are developing V2.0 which is coming soon, so most of these suggestions will be added as features within that release (among many other new features).
We already have these features in the pipeline for V2.0:
- Lockable studio panel screens (so presenters cannot modify the layout);
- Multiple studio panel screens and more modules (including custom modules);
- More configurable clock options;
- More configurable weather options;
- More security features to enable mandatory login if required;
As for our software in general, we are adding the following in V2.0:
- Better presenter designation for shows (assign presenters that do not have logins for example);
- Ability to add in shows ad-hoc (e.g. alternative pre-recorded shows if a presenter is unable to fulfill their show, or special events)
+ more
Does your station require any of these functionalities immediately? Or are these features that you would be happy to wait for in our next release?

Hey there Chris,
Did you mean the footer (bottom - like attached photo)? Or the blocks that sit above the footer?
If the former, what modules would you choose to remove?
- On Air
- Next
- Weather
- Icons
- Time
If the latter, you can move/change/remove blocks as you wish. To remove a block, simply right click on a block and click 'Remove Block'. To resize a block, simply drag the bottom right corner of any block.
Let me know some further info and we can see what we can do!
Thanks,
James

James Davey: I meant the items in the footer. Some of the admin icons (such as themes) need not appear here.

Chris Deacon: I can look into adding some more customization in V2 for this. Thanks for clarifying :)
