Good news: MockApp v0.6 is here (Keynote version only for now) and with a lot more goodness inside.
More good news: I just received my ppt 2007 for PC from Amazon so I’ll be debugging and hopefully releasing the PC/PowerPoint version later this week. Hey, what’s a few more days when you’ve waited years for MockApp…
Thanks to your feedback I was able to focus on important UI elements that were missing in v0.5. So let’s see… what’s new in v0.6?:
- Added tab controllers: Added 3 entire pages of tab controllers and icons from the iTunes store, iPod, Youtube, App store, phone app, clock app and iDisk app.
- Higher fidelity than ever: A ton of gradients were re-done based on actual iPhone screenshots (v0.5 was made based on the not-so-high-fidelity Yahoo UI library). I also rebuilt the picker, and the tabs, the messages.
- Idiot-proof instructions and packaging of the files: My 7-year-old could literally figure out how it works now.
- Added a vector phone keyboard
As always, if you can think of a UI element you’d really like me to add or if you feel the urge to give me a big kiss (I prefer checks) please email me at feedback@mockapp.com.
Is there a way to replace (update) the underlying template in an existing mockup? For example, if I have 15, 20, 50 slides and dialog boxes, I definitely do not want to cut and paste the contents from one Keynote presentation document to another.
If by the underlying template you mean the Master slides (as they’re called in Keynote and Powerpoint), the answer is yes.
You do that by replacing the content of the old master slides by the content of the new ones (copy/paste). Once you do that, the rest of the mockup will automatically update.
But if you’re talking about the individual UI elements of your mockup, the answer is no. If there is a new version of a specific button or control, then you have to replace the old version by hand throughout your mockup. Does that answer your question?
Yes that does, thank you very much.
