Overview of UI Library
The Library contains hundreds of UI elements that you can quickly add to your designs. The element types range from basic elements (text, icon, shapes, etc.), smart components (buttons, textboxs, menus, etc.) to a wide range of pre-made component templates (forms, cards, dialogs, etc.).
All elements in the Library follows the same system of colors, fonts, sizing and spacing as set in your Project Theme. In other words, along with the Project Theme, you have a whole Design System automatically generated for you.

Element types in the Library
Basic elements
These are primitive elements like text, shapes (rectangle, oval, triangle), line or image that you can use to build any components in the design.

Smart components
Visily provides various pre-built components that are most commonly used in app designs, namely:
- Button, Textbox, Textarea, Dropdown
- Checkbox, Radio, Button group, Switch, Rating, Avatar, Tag
- Menus of different types: Header menu, Sidebar menu, Tab bar menu
- Charts of different types: Column/bar chart, Pie chart, Line chart
