GUI Designer
Free Design Software for User Interfaces
Extron GUI Designer is a software application used for the design, creation, and maintenance of Extron
TouchLink
®
Pro user interfaces. Begin with ready-to-use design templates and resource kits, or start from
scratch and build your own layout using our comprehensive software. The available design elements are fully
customizable and matched carefully to popular AV system applications. In many cases, all the input sources,
display control, and environmental settings are already in place. These resources are fully developed and include
complete, detailed documentation.
Ready-to-use Templates and Resource Kits
GUI Designer includes ready-to-use templates for single display rooms, dual display rooms, divisible rooms,
multi-image systems, and videoconference suites that can be used for TouchLink Pro touchpanels. Since system
designs vary, our templates can be customized to suit the specific needs of any application. The GUI Designer
design environment enables a wide variety of design choices for buttons, colors, logos, font styles, and more.
Start From Scratch and Design Your Own Layout
A wide array of design options enable users to develop their own touchscreen layouts to meet almost any system
requirement. The GUI Designer resource library of shapes, graphics, and fonts provide a wide variety of choices
for design of pages and pop ups to provide transport controls, multi-state buttons, 3D effects, video windows,
dynamic text, and more. In addition, users can import their own images and font files into GUI Designer and use
the resource management tool to provide further customization capabilities. The Designer Window displays the
layout design in progress, so the changes can be seen while the customization occurs.
Use Dynamic Scaling to Speed up Your Design Process
The new, Dynamic Scaling feature allows easy conversion of GUI designs between different size touchpanels.
This simplifies GUI implementation throughout a project by allowing easy scalability between TouchLink Pro
touchpanel models.
Prepare User Interface for Conguration
Once the touchscreen layout design is completed, the process for uploading the design files to a Pro platform
interface is simple. GUI Designer provides a file for use with Global Configurator Plus or Professional, which, in
turn, connects to the interface over the network for uploading the layout project data.
