After starting UIViewer an almost empty window opens. Click Open in the toolbar or use the menu File -> Open... to open a user interface file. You can resize the window to see how the layout of the opened user interface adjusts itself.

The interfaces can be shown in a variety of different widget styles to ensure that they display correctly in any environment.
