Summary:In this paper, we present our experiments in designing and implementing a dynamic user interface (UI) based on XML configuration files. Indeed, users usually need to customize software UI as they used to do. This customization includes of course the UI localization. We have developed a DTD that may help/guide developers to design and implement dynamic UIs. We also have specified a method that leads developers to build software using an XML based UI configuration. This paper introduces dynamic UIs as well as some languages dedicated to dynamic user interface generation. Then we present our own needs and explain why we have chosen XML as a solution to dynamically customize applications. We also present the architecture of our application as well as the implementation guidelines.
