Subtitles of the Movie (Real Studio / Designing ToDo / Finishing Touches)
Now let's add some finishing touches to the UI of Todo. First let's Add some Graphics that we'll use on the Toolbar and for the app itself. I'll drag in this Graphics folder, these graphics are from the FatCow Icon Set and the Crystal Clear Icon Set, I've included links these two in the Notes for the APP Project. Now let's Assign the Toolbar Applications, we'll Run the App, that looks much nicer, a Toolbar always looks better with nice colorful icons. Now let's Add an actual Application Icon, this allows you to drag and drop your application icon in, the icon we are using for the application came from the Crystal Clear Icon Set, it is called todoapp.png. Now we will Copy it into the other sizes, you can now see the icon appears here and we'll run the app a couple of times for the Definder to cache that and you can now see the icon in the doc. Now let's Add an About Window for the application, we'll make this a little smaller, we'll Add a Label, we will show the Version information, we'll Add a Button to Close the Window, and we'll Add a Canvas to Display the App Icon, typically you display the app icon as a 64 pixel square. Now first let's Add the Code to Display the Version, here you can see we are using the App Constants to get the Version Number, the Major Version, the Minor Version, the Bug Version and the NonRelease Version. This will display as now let's show the Application Icon this is the graphic that we dragged into the project earlier and here we are scaling the icon from its original size to fit into the 64x64 size of the canvas. Now let's hook up the About Window Event so that we can display the About Window, we will do this in the Application Class instead of the Window Class this time, so let's Add a Menu Handler and Select our About Window. Now we can Run our Application, the About Todo Menu is now enabled and our About Todo Icon appears with the Version Number.
