Hi,

Gizmox published the first tutorial of its new, cutting-edge Theme & Control designer incorporated in the upcoming version of the Visual WebGui RIA development & deployment platform.

A new case was published on visualwebgui.com showcasing why TYCON chose Visual WebGui RIA Development Platform as the core platform for the Web UI in their.

In this How to we are going to learn the basic usage of Visual WebGui RIA Platform Theme & Control designer.
The Theme & Control designers are some of the new features that will be introduced in version 6.4. The new visual designers enable developers to create or edit a control skin and make custom themes. The Control designer consolidates all the resources that build the control into one place.

A preview version of Visual WebGui 6.4 will become available in a couple of weeks, but Visual WebGui released a short video as a sneak peek of the new version and its major new features - the Theme & Control Designers.

Cloud computing is a style of computing in which dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources are provided as a service over the Internet. Users need not have knowledge of, expertise in, or control over the technology infrastructure "in the cloud" that supports them. (Wikipedia)

Visual WebGui RIA Platform version 6.4 will be released as a preview version in the beginning of May. Since 6.4 includes many major, all-new features we have decided to release it as a free Express Studio Preview version first, allowing our developers & community the opportunity to try it as soon as possible and experience its remarkable potential and value.
 
In the meantime, 6.3.x which is now a stabilized version continues to be offered as a pre-release version. This will also give our devoted developers community the opportunity to benefit from our pre-release discount for a bit longer. Gizmox is offering a free upgrade to 6.4 for perpetual licenses and will reset your subscription period to start when the 6.4 version is stabilized and offered commercially.
 
For those who would like a taste of the next version we will soon release a free preview of 6.4. Visual WebGui 6.4 discovers a leap forward in Visual WebGui's evolution and it will literally change the way you develop and design Rich Internet Applications. The new version combines the ease of Visual WebGui drag-and-drop application development with graphically-engaging visual designers to build Web UI's.
 
The 6.4 preview brings a new dimension of collaboration between development and UI design tasks enabling simple and productive customization and creation of rich, branded, creative customer-facing Web 2.0 like UI's. This is enabled by new Control & Theme Visual Designers that add up to the Form designer and integrate with  existing design software such as Photoshop, Expression Blend, Flash CS, and more to enable the most efficient developer and designer collaboration when customizing and creating new themes and controls. Both Theme and Control Designers provide easy management of the entire project's resources and the integrative capability to edit those resources.

I would like to share with you the following story showcasing how Visual WebGui enabled MBI to replace the old VB 6.0 with a modern web application that presents an enhanced user experience for the trading desk system. With the old VB 6.0 based system the trading job took a whole day to complete, but with Visual WebGui the process takes only a few hours and is nearly automatic.
