How is it working ?

Defaults

Some interfaces can be set as default.

Labels

Every interface has some labels :

• Guest desktop interface (guestInterface) : will be displayed for logged out users
• User desktop interface (userInterface) : will be displayed for logged in users
• For touch devices (touchDevices) : will be displayed on touch devices

Configuring interfaces

You can choose which interface will be used by using the System settings app or editing /etc/uis.json.

Creating a user interface

You can create a new user interface by creating a new directory /boot/uis/mySuperInterface.

In this folder you will put :

• config.xml : UI's metadata
• index.html : base HTML code of your UI
• index.js : base JS code

You can see existing user interfaces to learn more, or you can create a user interface from an existing one.
