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.tar.gz

Requirements

Sun Java 6

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.


Recommandation

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


Usage

Known bugs

  • Preview is very slow for complex Design Objects
  • Preview will eventually eat up all Java heap memory, so it is neccessary to restart QuickDesigner from time to time.
