Blox UI Tags- Overview

The Blox UI Tag section includes examples of the use of a number of the tags from the Blox UI tag library. These files can be used for learning or for use as templates to create your own Blox templates. Copy these files to a new application for testing purposes, instead of changing settings in these files.

You can access the files through either the menu on the left or by clicking on one of the links below:
