How to use the UI Variants tab

Use this tab to set the UI variant for which the application is written. You must specify at least one UI variant.


UI Variant To Generate For

Use this to set the UI variant on which the application is to be installed. If multiple UI variants have been specified, a complete set of files will be generated for each location. For each UI variant, you should set the options given below.

Name of MBM

Use this to set the icon displayed for an application in a shell program. The icon must be supplied in the Symbian OS multi-bitmap file format (.mbm). See How to provide icons for possible ways to do this.

The .mbm must be suitable for the UI variant, as described in About AIF Icon Designer.

If you do not specify an .mbm file, then a default icon is used (unless you have specified a UI variant other than those supplied, in which case an icon file must be given).

Location to generate files

Use this to set the directory where AIF Builder should create the output files. This can be the path of the application's directory on the Emulator, or some other location from which you can copy the files to their final locations as required.

Output directory for temporary files

Use this to specify where the intermediate files, such as the resource file (.rss), are created. Such files do not have to be supplied with an application.

By default, this is a subdirectory of the generated files directory, called IntermediateFiles.
