Abstract
Methods and systems for using artwork to develop computer applications in ways that preserve the artwork's appearance and layout, including by importing the artwork and selectively replacing potions with functional components. One embodiment comprises a method for developing an application that involves displaying artwork in a design view area. The method may involve displaying artwork comprising a list representation comprising a plurality of list item representations and identifying each list item representation as a group of one or more subitem representations. The method may further comprise determining a list layout for list items using the list item representations of the artwork and inserting a list as a component in the design view area. This list may determine or otherwise be used to determine the positions of either the list item representations or list items replacing the list item representations. These positions may be determined based on the list layout that was determined.
