When selecting “text” the user must decide what action if any the “text” will activate.

This image above shows the landing spot (a page) when the user selects almost all of the built-in graphics. The complete list of built-in graphics was shown on the previous ui screen. The exceptions not shown here are:

which are objects unto themselves … these are not mixed, but self-contained. Their initial landing spot, as shown if the link is selected is the Action dialog where a selection must be made to link either to an categorical action (application, window, folder, launcher action, or sequence) or to default (no action).

Each mixed object shown in the image above has 2 or more of these elements:

  • Text
  • Image
  • Notification count
  • Date/Time
  • Day
  • Month
  • Year
  • Calendar event

These are placed relative to each other then grouped to bind them into a “single” object which is more easily preserved when moved during the design phase.

Samples of the above mixed graphics are shown below. Tapping the image will display the pages with the dialogs for the elements contained in the mixed graphic. This will be useful in understanding how this objects are compiled which could assist a user in creating new ones … including custom widgets.
