If you've been using LiveCode for any length of time, you know that 2011 has been the year of custom controls. So in honor of 11/11/11, I'm happy to announce that tmCONTROL, a custom control suite for LiveCode, is now available from Tactile Media.
tmCONTROL is a collection of interface components built exclusively for LiveCode users who want to give their stacks a more customized user experience. Using custom controls is a way to brand your application with a look-and-feel that makes it stand out from the rest. As a LiveCode developer, you may not have the time, the ability, or even the desire to create your own custom controls. You just know you want something different from the standard controls provided by LiveCode. Well, tmCONTROL is that "something different". tmCONTROL is more than just a set of pretty buttons -- it's an evolving architecture developed to support a wide range of components and functions. The best part is, the components work virtually the same way as the LiveCode controls you already know and use. Just drag and drop the component you need from the palette into your stack and script it. Plus, the component sets are designed to work together thematically in your applications. No need to hunt down bits and pieces to scrape together the look you want. Most every control you need to create a complete experience for your application is available in one package. And previews of the themes are provided to help inspire your development. The current set of collections includes: DESKTOP Push Buttons Radio Buttons Tab Controls Checkboxes Label Fields Scrolling Fields Panels Sliders Spinners Progress Bars Scrollbars Accordion Controls Backgrounds iOS Push Buttons Nav Buttons Segmented Controls Switches Tables Sliders Progress Bars Toolbars Backgrounds All together, tmCONTROL includes five desktop themes, two iOS themes, a set of SmartControls, and a set of accordions, totaling over 100 components. On top of all that, dedicated editors are provided so you can customize the components to your needs. tmCONTROL is available in 2 levels: a PRO level, which includes all collections, SmartControls, and support from Tactile Media; and a BASIC level that includes the core architecture only, and allows you to choose only the themes you want on an a-la-carte basis. The PRO level is priced at $199, but is available for 11 days at an introductory price of $149. The BASIC level costs $59, with an introductory price of $39, plus the cost of one or more themes of your choice for $29 each. See the FAQ on the tmCONTROL site to learn more details: http://tmtools.tactilemedia.com/tmcontrol/faq.html Thanks for your time, and I look forward to seeing what you create with the tools.
