TcMenu designer is the application that allows you to quickly generate data structures that can be used with tcMenu, it works in association with input, display, and remote capability plugins to provide a full application with IoT capabilities over Serial, Bluetooth, WiFi and ethernet. Additional endpoints can be easily created.
For all users we recommend the GitHub packages linked below. Although TcMenu Designer can still be obtained from the App Store, we strongly recommend the GitHub packaged version. It is code signed for Windows, notarized for macOS and packaged for Linux.
**We invest significant time and resources into every tcMenu, IoAbstraction and TaskManagerIO development task and release, please consider making a donation on GitHub, they are always helpful, no matter how small.

Release notes and other links
tcMenu Designer UWP and MacOS - 2.x releases
Current status, TcMenu Designer 2.1.x is the current stream, the 2.0 library and plugins will be released soon. At this point 1.7 will become previous, and 2.0 current. All menus we’ve tested have transitioned without any issues.
The main changes:
- All graphical classes moved into the “graphics” directory, so for example
GfxMenuConfig.his nowgraphics/GfxMenuConfig.h. - Most of the graphical code is now in a namespace, you may need
using namespace tcgfx;in your code, although the library takes care of backward compatibility for most. - Graphical displays are now skinnable, you have complete control of the font, colour scheme, borders, spacing, and icons that are used.
- 2.0 Plugins: By default, the
GfxConfigwill no longer be created, if you want to stay with this (and we recommend against) then you’ll need to create aGfxConfigin your code as the plugins no longer do it automatically.
BETA 2.1.1 release
This may be the best designer we’ve released to date, it has all the features of the macOS store version, a new project creation workflow, and a full CLI!

Release 1.7.11 Windows 10 BETA
