Why a "UI Interest Group"?

[SimonH]

Why would I bother creating, and why should you bother joining a "UI Interest Group"?  I mean we're all engineers or otherwise technically oriented folks, what matters is that our VIs work right?  Nobody cares if we slack off a little on the presentation.  Right?

For many of us I'm guessing that isn't the case.  Presentation matters.  Using the default front panel indicators in LabVIEW is great for quick tests but once you start making larger applications that more people will use or projects you intend to share with others or even demos of your work you tend to want to dress things up a little nicer.

This group is a meeting place for people who care about how their front panels look.  Here we can share advice, custom controls, XControls and provide feedback for NI as to what we want to be able to do with our front panels.  I've started the group by posting a set of custom controls I have created that follow the same visual style as the ni.com homepage.  Go ahead, install them and see how you like them.  I have some more partial themes I can clean up and post if there is any interest...

Until next time.
