“Never judge a book by its cover”, — my teacher told me many a time, but still I cannot deny that good design opens all doors, especially in web development.

In this article we will speak about conventional ways of altering font and icons within Webix widgets.

Webix has never been just a javascript library. At first sight it looks like a static collection of widgets and ties between them, but an experienced eye will easily trace the system of reusable mixins and UI components. At the same time, Webix API allows anybody build homemade but fully functional tools. In this article we will cast the light on the peculiarities of prototyping in Webix and create an Office-like ribbon interface.
