I use UbotStudio to create windows based software, there is a small windows based software called " Super Simple UI builder", check here the video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8U3lcmPqxrk

You use it to design a Bootstrap based user interface. Once done you add the codes ( like our AwareIM java or Processes ) for each buttons or dropdown and you export the CSS . The same CSS is then imported to the RAD tool.
Nice idea as inspiration for design & less is more GUI's for AwareIM 🙂

Would you share a few screen shots of your Aware app that uses "The result" of this SS UI Builder?
And what do you use it for to create for Aware?

I can't use it for AwareIm but I use it for UbotStudio...I have stopped using my own CSS for AwareIM as it was too much manual work. I will try to contact the developer of SS UI Builder if he can make us a custom app 😃

Thanks! You basically confirmed my thoughts on the usage with Aware.
Please let us know what you find out with Custom build.

Support,

How about a mechanism to post suggestions that your customers/users can vote on?

It will help prevent duplication and the collaboration will likely lead to a better end product.

Thanks,

This is a very good idea. 😉

CSS for version 7.0 is not too much manual work. Check the CSS file for Sales Portal sample app, for example. Or for CRM

There is a special forum for posting your suggestions...

in my 1st (intro) post, I wrote:
"Thus, the purpose of Posts which follow this (#0) Post (which will have this same Subject) is to canvass for/gauge how much interest/support there is in/for a particular setting/functionality among the forum user base.
If the level of support/interest is strong then I will formally suggest the setting/functionality in the appropriate thread/topic as well as to 'Support', along with mention of how strong the level of support/interest was among the forum user base.
AND.. perhaps my suggestion for a new setting/functionality will be improved/evolved/refined via topic replies? Perhaps my idea for how it should work won't be the optimum?
I think this could be a good way of presenting a well thought through idea to 'Support' which could assist them in implementing the setting/functionality exactly the way users would like, if they choose to take it on board.
I won't post a lot of 'headless chicken' new topics. Rather, I will consolidate multiple new settings/functionalities ideas (individually numbered) into a once a week new topic post."

it makes sense to evolve an idea for a new setting via discussion in a topic, and only then, if the level of interest is sufficient, report it to you as a suggestion which is supported among users, and give you a well thought through/evolved idea. maybe no one will like my ideas?

yes there is a special forum topic for suggestions.... which has not been posted to since April 2014.

I think I suggested this before, the problem with using any CSS (or HTML) with aware, is you have no idea what it will look like until you run it. Also it is unfriendly re: telling me I am missing a < or >. If there was some sort of integration between "pick your fav. tool here" and Aware. Where I could write something like <<span style = "xxxx"><<BO.Attribname>></span>

and see what it would look like, with the ability to edit the CSS, etc. etc.

Perhaps a PineGrow integration???

"the problem with using any CSS (or HTML) with aware, is you have no idea what it will look like until you run it"

Not true. Do not use styles inside Aware IM - use CSS classes instead. Then all you have to do is use the browser CSS inspector to test your ideas - you can test the changes directly in the inspector. Then just copy the changes to your CSS classes and refresh your browser. It's easier than changing your rules, for example, as you don't even need to lock and test your BSV version.

The man is right. Please activate that section or wipe it out, it not gives good to a forum to have not updated sections, especially wish lists 🙂

Remember, Bruce..
As I wrote in Post#1 (intro and explanation) and reiterated since, the focus of my suggestions will be on additional settings in the configuration tool which can improve functionality and usability of the configured end-user application insofar as they improve user experience, AND NOT, on aesthetics (which is mostly CSS related).
For example, when output is set to be directed to a new tab, a new setting, "don't select/change view to new tab", which if enabled would result in a new tab being opened (following user interaction for which the output has been directed to a new tab) but the view remaining as is, ie. the view doesn't transfer to the new tab and the user can continue working where he is and peruse any 'view later' tabs when it suits.

I don't think that (mechanism to post suggestions) is the most productive way.
There will be too many headless chicken un-evolved 'fringe' ideas/suggestions posted and it will become meaningless.
I think the most productive way is if we hash it out in a topic first, and only then formally suggest it if it makes the grade.
Collaborating and mulling over an idea will make for better and higher quality suggestions because only the worthwhile ones will make it to that point, and, will do so in an evolved/heightened form.

Hei pureist,
Sorry for so few words on my side(it was 2am when I replied).

Look above(activate "whish list" is better indeed). I think also that communicating in detail by posting a feture request is good. If you are new on this forum, please review how many feature request's were postedin the past. A lot, yes. Almost all of them were discussed by developers and support took their part to discussion. Some were implemented others not.
Like support said, if you have anything to say. Say it, and 100%, others will say their opinion. 🙂.

Cheers.

That's the point. Popular topics that get a lot of discussion and votes rise to the top. Fringe ideas that don't will not.

To keep context in mind ... my suggestion was in reply to support asking that wish list items be sent directly to support. How would that foster collaboration?
