Designing the look of your iViewer interface is one of the most time consuming parts of creating your GUI. Not only is it time consuming, but it also takes a certain amount of graphics prowess to really make your GUIs look professional and polished.

There is a way to get around these problems, and that is to use a pre-made template, graphics kit or theme. There are many templates available around the web, but today we are going to showcase some of the most popular templates and themes from the CommandFusion Store.

Templates

An iViewer/guiDesigner template is a .gui file which is loaded into our guiDesigner software. This file contains a series of pages, subpages and images which can be used to create a GUI that follows one visual theme.

These elements are fully editable and can be customised to suit your projects unique requirements. They also quite often contain JavaScript and advanced programming elements which make it quick and easy to create a professional looking GUI.

Themes

A guiDesigner theme is a set of files which are loaded in guiDesigner to make it as easy as possible for you to create a GUI.

Themes come with icons, buttons and sliders etc. All objects usually include an active and inactive state which is automatically set for you. These elements can then easily be dragged and dropped into your GUI to create a consistent look.

Pre-set groups are included in the theme, meaning with one simple drag and drop you can insert a whole set of buttons in your gui e.g. a number pad, or transport controls for a Bluray player.
