see here is the problem, this ui is actually sort of a jumbled version of what the beliefs page is in the successcodeapp project that i built. its not the actual ui that i worked on yesterday. but im hoping its in the code somewhere, like a previous version or something(remember this is like my 3rd day and im trying to learn as i go). the ui i built yesterday was dark with navy accents, a logo for LA landscapes in the top left. the layout was aligned center and only used the middle half of the screen. it started with materials then under that was the description of the input box that was directly below the description. starting from left to right stretching the length of the layout was name,cost,quantity,total
the next header was equipment. it has the same description and input box below the description. from left to right the layout was name, cost,hours.tota.l stretching the width of the layout
the next header was labor and each input box and description is stacked vertically under the header, with their description about the box so vertically from top to bottom it goes Labor, labor cost, labor hours, total. then continuiing with the vertical layout the next header was markup % i think and underneath i think the first was an input box to set the markup for the materials and then under that was one to set the markup for the labor. then beneath that steching the length of the layout was stacked vertically: materials total,equipment total, labor total, markup adjustment,and i think grand total. on the top right it had the options to export or print but next to those buttons was a button to not include all the markup stuff in the print or export. i really wish i could get that back cause it was perfect
