Interface Bars

1 Overview

Interface bars are horizontal elements which can be turned on and off on every page. These allow for structural customisation of systems.

A detailed description of how the bxp interface is constructed can be found from the whitepaper on the subject. File:Whitepaper - We are BEautiful v1-0.pdf
