Mizu

What is Mizu

水 (Mizu) is a lightweight, Material and IBM Carbon-inspired theme and helper file primarily intended for FileMaker developers and affiliate devs at Proof+Geist (Proof).

⚠️ If you are looking for a general-purpose theme to replace a built-in theme such as Minimalist or Apex Blue, this probably ain't it.

Mizu works best when applied as part of the overall development and design philosophy at Proof. Some of its tenets are:

• Team > Individual
• Process over heroics
• Ship, iterate
• Avoid undifferentiated work
• Automate the boring stuff to pay attention to the important stuff.
• Start small, loosely coupled
• UI (look) is good; UX (feel) matters more.
• Pixel pushing is dumb

Mizu is made for FileMaker 19 or higher. It probably works in FileMaker 18 but your mileage may vary :).

Installing

For FileMaker 19+ users, you can double click on the file. FileMaker will install the add-on and a new custom theme, Mizu by Proof+Geist will appear in your themes menu.

Mizu is released as an add-on component with a companion helper file.

To uninstall Mizu in FileMaker 19, go to Layout Mode and uninstall the add-on from the add-ons panel.
