■ Contents (subject to change)
TouchDesigner is one of the best multimedia development environments on the planet, but maybe you can make it even better with your own hands!

You may encounter a similar situation: you are always happy to use TouchDesigner to complete one challenge after another, but sometimes your work partner is often used to various DCC (digital content creation) environments and cannot immediately jump to such a free node-based authoring environment (except Houndini users of course ^^), they are very used to a variety of more abstract UI interfaces to assist their creation.

Or, sometimes you often repeat some abstract operations, until you even feel that you should have some custom user interface to complete these daily tasks?

First of all, we need to know: the user interface of TouchDesigner is written by TouchDesigner itself.

This means that the above-mentioned problems you encounter can actually be solved by your proficient TD skills, and it also gives your friends who may not be familiar with TD have the opportunity to contact TouchDesigner in a more intimate way for the first time!

Or you can simply get some fun as an interface hacker. 🙂

**Topics covered in this workshop will include:**

– Dive into the hidden TD user interface network.
– Modify the user interface of TD (Palette, Menu, OP Create Dialog…etc)
– Know the TD installation environment to take advantage of some files in those folders that you might ignore.
– Translation (localization) TD interface.
– Tips for customizing the workspace.
– Monitor the TD user interface for interactive.
– Publish custom UI components.
– Introduce some interesting open source components under this topic.
