Theme: Symbol, component in schematic
Component name and -value: How can I fade them in and out?
With a single component symbolDouble click the handle cross of the schematic symbol:
Image 1: Handle cross and dialog
In the lower part of the dialog the buttons [Hide name] and [Hide value] are visible, if component name and component value are visible. If component name and value are faded out already, the opposite buttons [Show name] and [Show value] are visible. Clicking the [Hide...] buttons deletes each of the respective display in the schematic symbol in question.
Do similar in order to fade them in again: Press the [Show...] buttons. Name and value are displayed close to the handle cross of the component.

Now you need to move each component name and value to appropriate position. In order NOT to highlight the complete symbol when trying to move name or value it is neccessary to deactivate the button "Select the complete symbol or package" (see arrow at the right hand side). Each of the texts now can be moved individually by drag&drop.
In menu "Settings/Settings (INI-File)" font type and size for such kind of names and values can be defined for the future. The entries at "Fonts for symbol import" will be used.
Simultaneously with all symbols in use
Temporarily menu "View" gives opportunity to fade in/out names and values of the symbols. This setting will not be saved in the project.
