James Dooley Perhaps I missed this one as well... But is it possible to have links on the menu control the same as it is on the menu bar control? Most of my designs are accounting applications and drop down menus are a big thing, so being able to show examples that link to other screens would be cool. At present I place a link over the menu item as a work around, but it is a bit of a pain!

James Dooley What about an option to auto generating "Lorem Ipsum" in the text controls?

Hi James, I would love to hear more about what you are thinking. (For those who haven't discovered the feature we are talking about: Do a Quick Add of a paragraph of text, and enter the word "Lorem" as your first word of that text. Mockups completes the paragraph with autogenerated text.)

OK, that is good enough for me! You know the application is so easy to work with that I have not bothered to read the documentation!

Balsamiq Mockups Do you present at conferences and Tweet? How about this v. cool idea: auto-tweeting synced to your preso. Send links while still presenting. Where is the "lerve" button?

Wolfgang, Chris, I wouldn't tweet every slide, just the salient content delivered. I am thinking recommendations, URLs, etc. that can be pre-loaded before your session. Don't get me wrong, I fully believe that the best WOM comes from someone else's M, but I consider this an attempt at saving audience keystrokes so they can be more present in the room. Thoughts?

Thinking this sounds almost like a new product or service offering--if it took off, even a platform in its own right.

Three new little features to test
Hi there! We took advantage of a quiet Sunday evening to add 3 little features: you can now change the background color of Button controls, you can toggle the border of Tab Bars and Vertical Tab Bar controls, and you can specify a 2nd level list in the Accordion control...

But you apparently broke something! I can't hit the Clear mockup button or delete any of the controls I dropped in the trial version. Any Ideas ?

Adam Hey again guys :) I'm considering demonstrating mockups to other students on my course at some point in the next few weeks. Probably around 20-30 people. Anything special I need to do or mention?

Once you fire up the application, I would show these features: hiding the UI Library and using Quick Add instead, showing how easy it is to add data to a Data Grid (including checkboxes, toggling the scrollbar with one click), our use of progressive disclosure when resizing a large selection (the size in pixels shows up only when you need it) or by... Read More typing "lorem" into a Paragraph of Text control. Then, to show that the tool is deeper than it looks, I would import an image (make sure you show the "Sketch it!" feature) and show the Icon Library.

A personal story is also always very powerful, so if Mockups saved you some time or helped you think through a UI recently perhaps I would definitely talk about it.

Good luck with your demo, let us know how it went! :)
