Our team is constantly looking for web sites that spent a lot of money (and time) to custom code something similar to our Zingtree interactive decision tree, and we’ve seen a different style of user interface that we like, and we think you might too. So we adopted it as an option, which we call the Panels style. It looks like this:

You can choose between the traditional Buttons style, or the new Panels style, when you deploy your tree. You can also try any of our Gallery trees in Panels or Buttons style.

Plus, you can even use your own CSS to redefine the standard colors, fonts and spacing used in the Panels style – just go to the Settings for your tree. (You can also change the default preview style from this screen as well.)
