Template

Book shelf - Template

The bookshelf app is a kind of simple browser. It loads the image assets of each book to the pre-made pages. The trick is to use the same layer names between the pre-made template page and the actual book page.

You create a bookshelf master project and each book project separately.

So you can load the books as many as you like via Internet without updating the Bookshelf app.

For Each book project or TOC project, Ultimate configuration of Kwik4 is default. New Universal or other configuration of Kwik3 are not supported.
