Overview

A palette provides quick access to set of configured templates, which you can dragging onto a screen canvas to easily create application screens.

PhixFlow comes with two default palettes:

  • Basic Components: contains all basic layout components, such as String Field and CheckBox without any additional labels and styling.
  • Labeled Fields: contains a set of predefined form fields that have configurable labels. This is the palette to use when designing application forms. 
Tip

You can install additional package templates, each of which includes a different palette; see Installing Template Packages

When you create an application, you can select a package template. This sets the default styles and palette for the application; see About Template Packages. To make additional palettes available to an application, add it to the application's packages.

When you are designing screens, PhixFlow displays a list of the available palettes. You can expand a palette and drag components from the palette onto the screen.
