Changing the Shading & Font of Schedule Headings

Hi all, I believe this is one for Python but I wanted to try my luck here.

My practice like to use particular colours for the headers of Schedules, but as far as I can see, I can’t specify the default Shading/Font Colour?

So for every presentation schedule we have to manually format them. I could be missing something obvious though…

If there isn’t a way of using templates etc to set the default, I’d like a script that applies Shading 65-65-65 and Font colour 254-254-254 to all headings in the selected schedule. I couldn’t find nodes that would allow this, but I might have been looking in the wrong packages.

Hi @danbuckinghamCA67E try archilab there are some nodes there can do it. if i remember right;)

Thanks, I’ve been having a play with the Cell Style Settings node but I’m hitting a roadblock. It would be great to see an example of how to use it.

I often find the archi-lab nodes are not the most user friendly, it’s not always easy to determine what format the inputs should be (string, boolean etc)

try take a look here…could probably help

Thanks, thats a great help, but I’m still hitting issues.
What value are you feeding into the _headerText input? It’s just off screen in your snapshot.

Not sure why I’m getting 2 outputs from the Cell Style Settings node, or why I’m just getting a null from the Schedule Title Appearance node?

@sovitek apologies, I missed the obvious!

For anyone finding this thread looking for answers, the _headerText input simply needs the title of the schedule.

It works perfectly after that.

@sovitek one more thing: how can I go about achieving a similar thing with the Headers?
I’m assuming I need to use the Schedule Appearance node from archi-lab, but I don’t think that gives me all the functionality I need?

@Konrad_K_Sobon could you shed some light on this?
