Our newest Graphic Set titled “Hyperglass” will bring the future to your touchpanel. And the future is BRIGHT with the hi-impact, 3-dimensional style of Hyperglass. Partially transparent, fully amazing, Hyperglass looks great on top of almost any color or background image.

Hyperglass can be easily customized. Use the Photoshop version of Hyperglass to modify the buttons to any color you wish. We’ve included special adjustment layers to allow easy 1-step color adjustments for both the button and surrounding chrome area on the cursor independently. Check out the video on the Hyperglass product page to see exactly how it’s done.

Note from the designer: This is my first entry in our blog. It’s a pretty big deal for me. I designed Hyperglass and I’m really proud of it. I sincerely hope you like it too. As a designer you really never know how your work will be received. Well, I put it out there for you and if you’re so inclined, I (and I’m sure quite a few others here at Guifx) would love to hear what you think. For better or worse.

We are always updating our software to meet the needs of our beloved touch panel designers. Today we’d like to introduce you to our latest software endeavor, CoPilot.

CoPilot is a software suite that encompasses all the touch-panel design solutions we’ve pioneered and improved on since 2002. Inside CoPilot you’ll find new versions of the tools you’ve grown familiar with and more.

Logo Tools version 2.0 boasts several user interface improvements. As always, it is the preferred tool to dynamically transform any collection of logos into beautifully styled interface buttons.

Koloroo is now baked right into CoPilot. Interactively browse over 100 million color schemes using our award winning Color Brain Technology.

Image Resizer (formerly Icon Tools), has been improved to quickly batch resize, or thumbnail, any collection of images to a size appropriate for any project. The output image size can be previewed in real-time using either fixed width or percentage inputs.

Background Maker is a completely new product that can be used to quickly crop and resize any digital image to the correct size required to be the background image on a touch panel. An interactive masking area and built-in presets of standard touch-panel resolutions help eliminate what could take hours of trial and error in expensive, more complex image editing software.

One of the best features of CoPilot is automatic updates. We’ve eliminated the need to manually check for software and Network Logo updates. Every time you load CoPilot it’ll check that you’re running the latest version and update itself. Simple, eh?
