When it comes to the question about creating styles, layouts and designs, the majority uses tools like PhotoShop or Gimp. But this might be a more cost effective and efficient way for prototyping. The cool thing, everything is already inside of mimoLive, your Prototype also… 🙂 … The plus? Use the created prototype for your show. No extra fiddeling! 🙂

And why is this located at the Automation forum? Well: I use it to copy URLs to change the values of the design for certain pip-window-layers. I just need the “?update=…”-part of the url.

Lots of fun,

I did an update: Save “Stills” of your Prototype for clients (with the help of WebControl).
