See A Screen Shot?
Shot 1 --
This screen shots shows the 3 basic windows in BX PRO along with an user
interface being developed.
Shot 2
-- BX PRO provides two types of palettes. The long vertical one is the traditional
palette with clickable folders to expand and/or collapse widget sets. The
tabbed palette on the right is more efficient in its use of screen real estate
at the cost of extra clicks to access different widget sets.
Shot 3
--- BX PRO is a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) visual design tool. The user
interface under development on the bottom of the screen shot is built from
actual instantiations of the widgets used in the user interface design.
