6.6.4 Project and UI Files /
Advanced User Interfaces
After composing your UI Panel, you can store the user interface created using the Save Project function from the Kickstart main toolbar.
If you created your UI Panel by starting with one of the Kickstart templates provided, the saved file is a Kickstart Compressed Project file
(
.kickzip) by default.
For many advanced applications it is necessary to directly work on the uncompressed files stored inside the .kickzip file archive: For that:
• Save the project using menu File > Save As... and choose Kickstart Uncompressed Project (.kickpro), not the default .kickzip file
format.
• Now you can manually edit the original .kickpro file, if necessary, using a standard text or XML editor.
• The / QML sub-directory contains all Qt Quick / QML files that define your UI Panel application. You can use standard text editors or the
Qt Quick development tools to work with these files, e.g. create modified versions with a different look or functions.

Additional developer guides about Qt Quick / QML within Kickstart are available on request. Please contact your Applica-
tion Support.
