Is there any KUIML drag and drop or similar skin designer app to speed up the PnS skins?
Hand coding is so time consuming.
There are so many web page development apps, that one would think a similar app would exist.
I know @ilyaorlov has kindly created the skin editing add-on, but to initially design one is still very time consuming, especially trying to remember all the TAGS and PARAMS.
TIA

Thank you for your message. There is indeed currently no WYSIWYG app for skin design. It may however come one of these days! If you keep the skinning manual open, it is actually pretty fast to write skins, and as you get fluent in KUIML it is actually much faster than using a GUI editor .

With raw html editing, most ide have syntax highlighting and tag ending. Maybe Blue Cat Audio can write an extension for Visual Studio Code or similar IDE to help ease the pain

Any editor with XML support should be fine. Since you can define your own tags with templates etc. specific syntax highlighting is not realy useful IMHO.

That's quite a bit of work. But if you use Visual Studio with XML support, it is already smart enough in most cases to autocomplete the tags for you based on existing code in your file.
