SmartSim Simulation Styles, Page Types, and Catalogs

This is a view of the styles we currently provide with a simple Title Page Type showing:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In each of these styles, you are shown a sample of normal button graphic (the Next button), the disabled button graphic (the Back button), and the mouse over graphic (the Menu button). A close inspection of each of these shows that various font combinations are used.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The image to the right shows the SSim Basic1 Style for a Simulation Page.

 

For each of these types of pages, the Instructional Text and Feedback fields have a font style that corresponds to the current Smart Style. The colors for the Feedback field and the panel below the Nav buttons correspond to the current Smart Style and change when the Smart Style is changed.

These styles are added from the SmartSim Styles Catalog Category that is added when you install this product as shown below:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Likewise, Simulation lessons can quickly be built by dragging a SmartSim Page from the SSim Pages Catalog Category.  Each type of SmartSim Page corresponds to a pre-built Simulation Scenario where all the coding has been taken care of.
