The user interface of the pixi web application was built with the following concepts in mind:
Know your user: User interface (UI) design is based on the information about and from different pixi users.
Less is more: User interface should be simple (but not simplistic) and clean.
Easy to use: The UI of the pixi web application should be intuitive and consistent.
Lover of detail: When creating the UI of pixi web application, we wanted to make sure that every detail is designed properly.
Easy to build and maintain: The UI of the pixi web application should be designed in a way that it will be easy to add new features and improve existing ones.
You can access the pixi web application with your web browser. Minimum supported screen resolution is 1366 x 768, but we recommend even higher screen resolutions for effective work.
Tip: In case you need more screen space to view an object, you can collapse the object header.
