The designs in this file are created as a jump start for creating your own professionally looking FileMaker databases. Of course I hope you think they look good, but ease of use was just as important as the creative aspect. That's why a lot of effort was spent in fine tuning sizes, grids and consistent use of type. Other design principles were to be cross platform, use standard FileMaker layout options, common typefaces and no use of plug-ins or externally created graphics (with the noted exception of the 'Quasi Aqua' buttons). This should enable you to create additional layout elements completely from within FileMaker on both Mac OS and Windows.
Using the elements supplied in this file you can concentrate on the 'only' thing left: creating useful and easy to use databases. If you need help with that, please refer to the 'Where can I get more of this?' section.
Hope you like it, Eerk Hofmeester.
NB. The default download is a Stuffit file that will work on both OS 9 and OS X. Use the alternate download for a OS X only version that has some additional graphics and is packed in a disk image.
