That a good decision, i think. Thanks for that. :)</p> <p>But i noticed some things ...</p> <p>1. Guide freeze if i want to see my result (after clicking on the eye button).<br /> -&gt; im a win7 pro 32bit user with java6u21</p> <p>2. I wanted to use SwingX comp. and SubstanceLAF. If i add the jars to classpath and press close, it takes some time and the ui freeze. I think guide wants to load the comp. for drag'n'drop experiences, yes? Maybe you can show a simple progressbar to show the user what is happening.</p> <p>3. I tried to build a gui like mozilla thunderbird (only the look), but it is really hard to tell guide "that panel is the statusbar" or "this comp. should go from a to b". I know that this is a problem related to layoutmanagers, but i tried all of them. ;)</p> <p>4. I wanted to create a new palette that contains the SwingX comp. Why is the dialog for that in the project view? I think if someone wants to design gui he/she dont want to add all needed jars for each project again. An option for a cross-project way to add external jars for every project would be nice. Same for palettes.</p> <p>5. There is no option to set standard properties of the comp. in these palettes. :-/</p> <p>6. If i want to delete a comp., but this comp. is hidden by some other comp. i wanted to do so in property dialog of the parent comp., but guide tells me, that it cant delete it. Why?</p> <p>With best regards<br /> CroniD </p> http://www.mindsilver.com/forums/topic/guide-version-1-released#post-31 Fri, 23 Apr 2010 16:52:29 +0000 brendon 31@http://www.mindsilver.com/forums/ <p>Hi.

This looks like the first UI builder that I may actually end up using.</p> <p>Now, my request: there doesn't seem to be a way to name the local variables used in the generated code, renaming them outside of GUIDE means that my names just get discarded the next time I make a change in GUIDE. At first I thought that it was a compiler thing but I have checked to make sure the local variable table attribute is being generated.</p> <p>Another request: in the component property inspector (bottom right) it doesn't show the "name" property.</p> <p>I'm mainly mentioning this as it may be possible to link the 2 (assuming that it's a ton of work to support local variables via the LVT). I'd like an option of using the component name as the local variable name, it makes sense for GUIDE to enforce a uniqueness constraint on the component names anyway, so this would ensure that there are no name collisions in the created method, and adding a few <code>component.setName(&quot;foo&quot;)</code> calls wouldn't clutter up the generated code too much.</p> <p>Cheers,<br /> Ian. </p> http://www.mindsilver.com/forums/topic/first-impression#post-18 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 14:25:30 +0000 kevin morgan 18@http://www.mindsilver.com/forums/ <p>Great work! First, I'm not a professional programmer; however, programming is embedded in my job function and I'm always looking for paradigms that fit my 'thought processes'. Guide is such a product and I'm very excited to see how it develops out. Second, I have never given any feedback on any products that I use, so kudos! Third, I'm curious as to the price range you guys are going to be targeting, that way, if it's too high I know not to get to attached...ha! Irrespective of price, once again, thanks for making such a great product and as I delve deeper I'll endeavor to keep giving feedback.</p> <p>Cheers,<br /> Kevin </p> http://www.mindsilver.com/forums/topic/looks-really-impressive#post-14 Fri, 18 Sep 2009 23:13:14 +0000 David Stevens 14@http://www.mindsilver.com/forums/ <p>Haven't had a chance to play around yet, but the screen-cast looks very good.</p> <p>Just a minor bug I've noticed is that the link for the documentation on GUIDE's welcome screen is broken (<a href="http://www.mindsilver.com/docs/index.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.mindsilver.com/docs/index.php</a> should be <a href="http://www.mindsilver.com/guide/docs/index.php)" rel="nofollow">http://www.mindsilver.com/guide/docs/index.php)</a>.</p> <p>This certainly looks a lot better than Matisse in Netbeans :)</p> <p>David </p> http://www.mindsilver.com/forums/topic/congratulations-to-an-amazing-product#post-5 Mon, 07 Sep 2009 19:07:25 +0000 mikaelgrev 5@http://www.mindsilver.com/forums/ <p>I will admit, I haven't tested it yet but I have seen the whole video and it look amazing.</p> <p>Have you thought about MigLayout support?
