<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>
