This page provides details of the properties for a palette, which is part of an screen design.

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.
• Labelled Fields: contains a set of predefined form fields that have configurable labels. This is the palette to use when designing application forms. 

When you create an application, you can select a package template. This sets the default styles and palette for the application; see Understanding 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.

To add your own components to an existing palette:

• convert your components and layouts to a template: see Making Template Components.
• Drag the template into the Components section of the palette properties.

You can also create your own palette; see Changing or Creating a Palette.
