Minimal Comp Examples?
Wednesday 3 March 2010 - Filed under Components
Do you use Minimal Comps? I would love to get a list of sites and apps that feature them. Even if it’s just an experiment or proof of concept type example. Leave links in the comments or email me at kp at bit-101 dot com. Thanks!

Hi Keith,
I’ve used them in quite a few of my examples. I’ve mainly only used the PushButton class though.

I use it sometimes in experiments. I really love it’s easyness. Hope you will someday add a feature in the future too to have the ability to click on the bar too (in case of sliders), instead of dragging square indicator only. I’ve used my ‘own’ colors btw.

Mark, try slider.backClick = true;

Great stuff man.

I really love this one, experimenting right now to recreate such thing for fun. I guess you’ve used a algorithm to find the closest points, but do you remember what kind of movement is used for the main ‘lines’?

Mark, it’s essentially a Lissajous curve but with a bit of randomness added to the parameters each time, so it winds up wandering a bit.

Didn’t know that movement had a name, but then I was already very close. It’s sometimes really fun to use more math and some less random in generative art. Thanks Keith.

I have used minimalcomps for quick pure AS3 experiments http://codes.widged.com/ . Very handy. Thanks

While I don’t have specific examples of their integration into final projects, I’ve used minimal comps in about half of the UI wireframes I’ve mocked up for clients in the past few years. I typically switch to something a little easier to customize in the later stages of the project, but minimal comps are *perfect* for prototyping.

I used Minimal Comps for my diploma project long time ago…
You won’t find it directly on the website but in the download there is a “controller” which makes use of it.

My post is in russian, but there is some tool with demo of as-threads which uses minimalcomps UI:

We used it at http://fixedinch.com/upload
They are very handy! Thanks

I’ve used it then I need to coding some prototype. If they have some skins support it will be great.

I use it in every prototype. It’s a HUGE time saver. Thanks!

And my animators thank you for not having to look at my XML structures anymore.

I’ve just posted a JPEG glitching suite with a minimalcomps based ui.
I made a simple drop-down list and modified a few other components too, adding some bitmap icons into the mix for good measure.
