This page is NOT documentation of the UI Options API. It is a working document. The UI Options API is currently undergoing revision, and there is no API documentation as yet. |
This page presents a proposal for a new API for User Interface Options. It lays out what we would like to expect of an integrator.

If no grade names are specified, the default state of the components would be no panels, no settings. It's unlikely anyone would ever use it without grade names.

Use Case: 3rd Parties Adding Panels To The Starter Set
