• Toolbar associated with each menu,

• Navigation between the static part and the variable part of a project + zoom tools.

The design space where all graphic treatments will be done to design templates is located between the menus and tools on top of the screen and the status bar at the bottom.

This design space can also be divided in several parts, in addition to the central design space. The additional parts can display:
