Hi
Is there a way to hide the buttons and not show them on the screen?

Re: Button Hidden

You can try to set the button color to be the same as the screen background color, and disable the button border

"Hiding" a button will not stop it working, and that could lead to problems that you don't know what you may be pressing inadvertantly.

The thing to do is to put the button there, and then "cover" it with an LED that you can control from your sketch.

Put a label on the LED in the colour that matches the "Off" state of the LED. When your LED is "On" the label will be visible, and your sketch can use the button press because it knows the LED is On. With the LED Off, ignore the button press.

It's a bit of a messy workaround, and hopefully "enables" and "visibility" parameters may be added to controls in the future.

2B, or not 2B, that is the pencil ...
