Areas

The phone's screen is divided into three areas. Carbide.ui allows you to edit these areas:

Status Area

The Status area, which is the upper part of the mobile phone's screen, consists of three sub-areas: Status Area Background, Navi Pane Background, and Idle Status Area Background.

Main Area

The Main area, which is the large middle part of the mobile phone's screen, consists of five different sub-areas. These sub-areas include, for example, active and idle main area backgrounds.

Control Area

The Control area, which is the bottom part of the mobile phone's screen, consists of two sub-areas, the Control Area Background and the Idle Control Area Background.

     
Figure: Default and customize status areas

Note: Some areas can be animated.

Note: Most of the areas contain a background layer by default, allowing you to define transparency for the components. The Navi Pane component does not contain a background layer as a default. To add a background layer to Navi Pane, select the component and go to Layers view or the Animation Editor. Right-click the layer and select Add Background. Now you can add effects to the background layer.
