I find MT.D to be VERY VERY flexible. I use it pretty much everywhere, and recently, I've been using it on otherwise static screens (ie, they dont scroll), as I can use images in cells, and generally make it pixel perfect to the designs.
For example: http://www.fastchicken.co.nz/drop/2_overview.png This doesn't scroll (I turned it off), but it's 100% MT.D. two cell types (top, the the bottom 2), as well as a custom double button. Table header for the tear off etc. Thats shot is a shot from the designer, but I have it pixel-perfect in the app (which isn't released yet, hence why I've been so quiet on here!) There are a few minor things I've found with it - mostly around things I want to be virtual or public, which are not, but in general, I love it. 5 out of 6 of my apps are MT.D based. The other one is a swipe-card interface, so wasn't applicable. On Mon, Mar 5, 2012 at 21:39, Jason Awbrey <[email protected]> wrote: > MT.D is not all-or-nothing.
