Today I’m happy to announce a brand new updated version of my tmControl2 UI kit for LiveCode. Yes, this announcement has a lot of 2’s in it, and the package has lot going for it.



If you’re not already familiar with tmControl2, it’s a collection custom-built controls created to make the process of building applications easier. The package ships with an iOS theme containing more than 20 controls, and features an integrated visual editor that allows you to configure controls the same way you do in LiveCode — drag a control onto a card in your stack, size and colorize it the way you like, and select the settings appropriate for your app.



UPDATE: The official tmControl2 page has been updated to show the range controls included in the package. See the FAQ on the page to learn more.



To celebrate this new release, a limited time 15% introductory discount is being offered to new purchasers of tmControl2. Visit the Tactile Media Storefront and use promo code tm22INTRO when checking out.
