Widget to control functions via touch screen rather than a real switch

[onki69]

I am sure I had such a request before but I can't find it anymore.
I am running some function models with my X20.
Since there are many on/off functions te 3 way switches are not very useful.
In addition it is hard to remember the switch layout.
This is a big benefit of the touch screen.
I wish there would be a widget in different layouts where I can define one half of the screen with touch switches.
These switches should be able to be labelled in the widget configuration to describe its function (like front light, winch, etc.)
In addition a small icons for on/off state (like the switches in a car / truck are labelled) that could be selected would improve the user experience extremely.
In the configuration the type of switch (e.g. momentary) should be selectable as well.
As a result a mixer could be triggered by this virtual switch. Either using a single channel with the available SBUS multiswitch solutions or each switch triggers a different mixer / channel.

There is a Lua based solution for the Kingbus system bus this is kind of closed just for this hardware.

Hello,
there are some requests in the past: #529, #1411, #2686, #3191....
I am running only function models. An widget based solution for digital switches would be fantastic.
A lua based solution is not so useful. For each virtual switch you have to define a separate lua source. A better solution would be a widget based solution similar to the channel monitor widget. It should be possible to set the following:
-number of switches
-type of switch (push button, latching switch)
-colour of the switch
-name of the switch
-and which virtual switch serves as output (VS1 - VS24)

In addition, you need an additional class VS (Virtual Switch) like LS or Switches as a source for the mixers.

Then everybody could use it. Not all modellers are programmers :-)
