Getting Started

It is recommend to make a mockup first, so you know at what position you want all elements to be! Starting without one often results in messy layouts!

Figuring Out the Coordinates

Even though the Switch Toolbox can visualise many things, you'll never be able to see the exact final result. It is recommended to always start with a mockup in your favorite image editor (e.g. Photoshop or Paint.net).
