<itemgroup>

<p>Building an AVKON-based application UI is a primary choice for

third-party add-on applications that do not need advanced customization.

Such an approach guarantees compatibility across different Series

60 Developer Platform editions, but, in turn, puts some limitations

on the application UI layout imposed by AVKON.  AVKON provides a wide

choice of well-designed and versatile components, but not all of these

are easily modifiable.</p>

<note>

<p>AVKON or AVKON-derived components should be favoured over custom <xref href="jar:GUID-35228542-8C95-4849-A73F-2B4F082F0C44.jar!/sdk/doc_source/reference/reference-cpp/Control_Environment/CCoeControlClass.html" format="application/java-archive"><parmname>CCoeControl</parmname></xref>-derived controls. 

AVKON UI components <xref href="GUID-B02C762B-C452-4184-ABEA-4753E6CD47D2.dita">scale</xref> automatically

according to screen resolution and orientation.</p>
