Phoebus的奇妙世界

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions

 Where can I find my license number?

The serial number is sent to whoever bought Mockups as an email. If you bought a plugin version of Mockups your wiki/JIRA administrator can retrieve the serial number.

• Mockups for Confluence: go to Administration > Plugins > Balsamiq Mockups > Configure Plugin interface.
• Mockups for JIRA: go to ADMINISTRATION > Balsamiq Mockups License.
• Mockups for XWiki: instructions here.

If you still can't find it, email me and I'll look it up.

 Can I use the same license key on multiple machines?

Yes! The license for Mockups for Desktop is tied to you, not a particular machine. Install it on any machine you own and use, and enjoy!

 Can I use a different font other than Comic Sans MS?

If you are using Mockups for Desktop, you can! Instructions on how to set it up are here.

 Can I add a custom image / control / icon?

Yes! Look at the help for the image feature for examples on how to do so.

 How can I reuse common elements across mockups?

You can use the XML import/export feature coupled with the image feature, as shown in this video.

 Is there a more formal skin for Mockups?

I don't currently have any short-term plans to support other skins in Mockups. The problem with a polished look and feel is that it gets easily confused for a semi-finished product, discouraging discussion about the structure of the application / web site. On top of that, people have a natural tendency to look at details like the color of a button or whether an icon is the right one for the job, neither of which makes for productive brainstorming. The mockups created scream "I am just a draft, criticize at will, I won't get offended", which I think is a good goal for the app. That said, Mockups saves in XML (a flavor I called BMML), so someone could conceivably build a translator from BMML to another format which uses other assets. I am always interested in ways to make the app better, so send me an email if you'd like to chat about this.
