The use of boolean controls is covered along with boolean gates such as the AND and OR gates.

Presentation of your Front Panel (User Interface) is important, in this tutorial we explore how to apply colours to the Front Panel and also how to alter the colouring of the controls placed on the Front Panel.
If you want to alter the change in colour for Boolean controls from the light green and dark green defaults, take the time to watch this tutorial.

Decorate enough to make emphasis where required, just don't overdo it!
