How can I enhance the appearance of my program?

The appearance of your program can be enhanced through the Querix GUI scripting technology. This feature uses GUI script files (files with the extension “.qxs”) to enhance and specify the style and appearance of the application.

The script files allow you to specify, amongst other features, the following:

• background images
• colors
• window position
• look and feel
• behavior of graphical components
• additional form components (without modifying 4GL code)

You can read more about the usage of scripting technology in the product documentation and have a look at its capabilities in the demonstration program "guidemo" which is available as part of the Hydra4GL package.
