Antetype v1.2.0 – Interface design tool

Antetype UI designer is a brand new, ground-breaking design application that supports user-interface designers at every step of their work. Design beautiful interfaces, invent new widgets, style them, and put it all together in an interactive prototype!

Features:

• Multiple Looks and Feels: Looks and feels are stored globally in the shared library and can be applied with one click. Any project can be shown in any Look and Feel.
• Advanced Layout Engine: Any complex layout can be realized with nesting, tables, and flow layouts. Elements can stretch and shrink to adapt to the available space or their content’s size.
• Platform-Independent Web Viewer: Screens designed with the Mac version can be viewed in the free Web viewer. Enjoy Antetype’s advanced layout engine right in the browser.
• Shared Widget Library: The widget library is available in all projects. Changes made to existing widgets or completely new custom widgets can be synced application-wide and made available in any Antetype project.

What they say:

Antetype is the best, most productive tool for UI design I have ever used. It does everything, from Web applications to iPhone and Android apps, and it’s just unbelievable how much time it saves me. There is simply no better tool out there if you’re serious about UI design.
