Hi,
I am new to the designer software and, quite honestly, I am scared like hell of messing up a perfectly nicely working iPhone and iPad apps...
I wanted to try my hand a customizing the interface a little to better fit my needs. For example, I would get rid of the "Music" button on the home screen and put "Security" button there instead, tying it to the next screen with cameras.
I have everything installed and the designer seems to connect to HomeTroller just fine. I can see that I am able to start a new, from scratch, project in a designer, but that is too much for me as a first step. Besides, I don't even see enough choices for buttons and such to create a new project to my liking.
Is there a way to load the existing default template that is used by iPhone (or iPad), the one that in the settings is referred to as iPhone2.xml? I would then try to modify it little by little, save under different name, and deploy intermittent changes iPhone to see if what I am changing is working. I could deploy it as "Server 2", for example, and retain the existing working "server 1" configuration for daily use. Just for my own peace of mind.
I know many users here design their own in-depth interfaces. That is way beyond my abilities at this point. At this stage, with this forum being the only guide, I am absolutely clueless as to how this program works, where to find the template used for default interface, so that I can try modifying it, and so on.
I thought if I took the default iPhone interface and tried modifying it in designer, that would be an easy first step.
How do I do that?
