Overview

Template Packages supplied by PhixFlow only need to be installed when:

  • PhixFlow is installed for the first time.
  • the package has never been installed before.

PhixFlow provides additional palettes that you can use when designing an application, these are held on Template Packages. Each palette contains a set of template layouts that you can drag onto a screen to create forms and buttons with a consistent look-and-feel; see About Template Packages. For a demonstration that uses Template Package 1, see /wiki/spaces/HELP91/pages/9050674952. For information about using Template Package 2 (also known as Theme 2), see Using a Template Package and /wiki/spaces/HELP91/pages/9050655401.

A package is a way to share resources between PhixFlow applications; see Understanding Template Packages. Template packages include a palette and default design configuration for your application.


Warning

Template packages only need to be installed once.

When you install a package on an instance of PhixFlow, the files and data it contains overwrites any existing files with the same name. This means you could lose any changes or customisation you have made

.For theme palettes, we recommend they are only installed onceDownload the desired Template Package(s)

    . Use this option if you want to use different palettes with different applications.Note for version 9.0 and up, when creating an application you will be prompted for your preferred Template Package and a wizard will guide you through the settings.
      • and select the palette you require.
