QuickDesigner is an alternative to HADesigner, a program for creating UI for LinuxMCE. QuickDesigner is written in Java, so it is possible to run it from any machine that is Java enabled.

Warning

QuickDesigner is still work in progress and even though it works quite nicely, it is more then recommended that you backup pluto_main database before you start working with it.

Download

QuickDesigner_0.5.1.tar.gz

New DL link: http://deb.linuxmce.org/QuickDesigner.tar.gz

Source: http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac/browser/people/michalw/src

Requirements

Sun Java 6

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-archive-javase8-2177648.html#jre-8u11-oth-JPR

Note: Make sure to use the above version and not some other Java VM.

Installation

Just unpack the file to any directory and run from command line: java -Xmx256m -jar QuickDesigner.jar

After startup QuickDesigner will ask for database connection settings. When it completely load, please set path to skins and fonts in File/Options.

Recommendation

Big monitor with high resolution is needed for an effective work.

Usage

All notes regarding starting development you find in HA Designer still apply. For example, you do have to get all the pictures from /usr/pluto/orbiter/skins directory somewhere local.

Known bugs

  • Preview is very slow for complex Design Objects

Changelog

0.5.1

  • memory leak fixed
