1000 screens to reface: where to start? Breaking large refacing projects into manageable chunks

Posted by Nick Hampson on Jan 13, 2014 11:00:00 AM

Over the years many of the projects we have worked on with customers have been in the thousands of screens, some upwards of 8000, one around 10,000, often with sections being written by different people to different standards (for instance different F-keys for the same action app to app).

The first thing to do at the start of any project is take a breath. Never just dive in and 'start fixing stuff' without a plan.

Hidden Gems with looksoftware - Change History Management

Posted by Vas Mintzikos on Sep 18, 2013 1:25:00 AM

Hidden Gems: Part 1

With every major release of the looksoftware product suite a bunch of new features are made available. However we often find that some of those features are misunderstood, underutilized and occasionally overlooked to the detriment to both you, the developer, and the solutions you create.

As part of an ongoing series we plan to revisit the product features that historically have fallen into the "Hidden Gem" category.

The first of these underutilized features is Change History Management within the looksoftware IDE which we'll discuss in further detail.

newlook 10 design surface video

Posted by Eamon Musallam on Aug 26, 2013 6:41:00 PM

At looksoftware we have been receiving extremely positive feedback about newlook version 10, and in particular our updated design surface. The IDE now allows the ability to perform design work outside the form layout area, making it easier to rearrange busy screens and work with features like tab controls with more room.
