XiBase9-applications present themselves with a standard graphical user interface. The request for the same look and feel that is widely known from office software in industrial applications is fully integrated within XiBase9. Modifications of all graphical elements, such as windows and objects can be made with the appropriate design tools (which are part of the XiSys solution). This offers the software designer the distinct feature, which presents a choice between the widely accepted standard and the individual company's corporate identity.

The XiBase9 server is completely based on the Unicode Standard 3.0, while all application interface routines are supporting wide character, multi-byte and single characters. This concept guarantees the support of the wide range of languages. An integrated language manager is responsible for the text content of all objects. It offers the powerful feature of exchanging all texts on the fly, without involving the applications.

The XiBase9 server offers unsurpassed power to the design engineer. Touch screen input is a perfect example: Pop down menus can be automatically enlarged (as an internal function of the server and not as hand coded application software) simply by making a selection with the fingertip. For character input, the XiBase9-software, and not the application, can impose a keyboard on the screen.

The software designers' advantage is obvious: an effortless generation of well accepted user interfaces, without the burden of programming a lot of - what XiSys calls "essentials" over and over again. The result is a reduced time to market and an increased end user satisfaction.
