The Morphic halo allows for some interactive composition.

The ToolBuilder DSL is okay for those tools, which are lightweight regarding their UI design complexity. Here a button row, there a list, maybe a text field. :-)

The Morphic Designer still works:

Hi All,


Sorry I'm a noob to most of this.


Just wondering how you guys go about designing a user interface for a
new tool or application.  It seems from what I've seen in the image that
the UIs are simply hand-coded from scratch without any form of UI designer.

Is this correct?  If so, then what is the purpose of the new Morph
option in the world menu?


Craig
