Switcher Pages

Customize your switcher interface to suit your particular workflow needs with MixEffect Pro's Switcher Pages feature. Create multiple pages for each switcher with layouts that adjust according to your devices screen size and orientation.

Every Switcher Page defines the panels used in the following layouts:

  • Small: Displayed on iPhones in portrait orientation or on iPads in Slide Over or Split View small.

  • Medium: Displayed on certain iPhone models when screen is rotated into landscape. Displayed on iPads when screen width cannot accommodate the iPad layout.

    • Top Row

    • Left Column

    • Right Column

    • Bottom Row

  • Large: Displayed on iPads when screen width is greater that 734 points.

    • Top Row

    • Left Column

    • Right Column

    • Sidebar

    • Bottom Row
