I was wondering if there was a better designer for the UI? ...or addons... I feel like the functionality could be increased...( such as how fireworks and Photoshop can be used to create layouts) ...

I should mention I'm very new to b4a.. ( but not vb6)

Which features are missing? Are you using the designer scripts feature? Have you connected the designer to a real device / emulator?

@IanWardell are you using the wysiwyg designer or the abstract designer? The visual designer with the script engine is quite powerful.

Custom views will be supported in the next version. The wysiwyg designer will not show the actual class due to technical limitations (it will show a "placeholder" view instead). However it will be very useful for building the complete UI with the designer / designer scripts.

Yes !!! Seeing only a placeholder doesn't bother me at all.

Took me awhile to wrap my head around the designer but it really is very powerful.

I agree, and also:
- I would appreciate all properties settable for every view:sign0089:
- Grid setting isn't saved (on my pcs) and also displaing it would be usefull
- More grades of zooming?
- Possibility to load ttf file for assigning to texts
- Show Title e Full Screen parameters are obsolete, they are overriden by Module Attributes voices.

Edit: BTW consider this post as a wish list, bye!
