The ProjectMaker 7 interface meets the highest standards for modern software designed for project creation and development.
You can find setup instructions in section “3. Customization”
3 qualities of the ProjectMaker 7 interface:
1. Modern Look
Minimalism, clarity, and clean shapes make the interface accessible to any user without additional training.

Bright, easily recognizable buttons, grouped where you need them, make navigating the program quick and intuitive. Clear icon images help you understand the purpose of menu items.
2. Functionality
2.1. Main Menu
All program features are available through the main menu—a classic interface users have known since early versions of Windows. This is now the standard for today’s project development studios.
2.2. Toolbar
In addition to the classic menu, there’s a toolbar you can customize as you wish—choose the look, order, and which buttons appear!
2.3. Tool Windows
Main and supporting windows—like “Project,” “Browser,” “Action Properties,” “Execution Log,” and others—have a dedicated and familiar look for functional tool windows.
2.4. Using 2 Monitors
In ProjectMaker 7, you can move any tool window—even the browser—onto a different monitor whenever you’d like.

2.5. Smart Action Panel (Toolbox for blocks)
In ProjectMaker 7, you can use the Action Panel wherever you want:
- In “hide browser” mode (Advanced Editor Mode in ZP5)
- In “show browser” mode (Recording and Debugging Mode in ZP5)
- Hide and call up the panel quickly with the Ctrl + T hotkey

Smart Action Search
Now you no longer need to remember where an action (block) was located or what it was called—the new Action Panel features truly “smart search.”

2.6. Fast Project Navigation
Anyone who has worked on large projects has surely asked themselves: “Where does this line go?”
ProjectMaker 7 can answer that! Now, when you hover over a node connection point, you’ll see a preview of the action the line leads to.

3. Customization (Personalize to Your Taste)
3.1. Interface Theme
There are 2 themes—light and dark.
The light theme is great for those who prefer the classic program look. The dark theme has become very popular among some users; it’s perfect if you like something a bit different, or if you work at night and want to reduce eye strain.
