Is it possible to take existing ui files and build a project around them? The files are from a functional Espressif demo that I would like to modify without having to recreate the wheel. I’m currently using SLS 1.5.0

This demo:

> **[ESP32\_Display\_Panel/examples/arduino/gui/lvgl\_v8/squareline\_wifi\_clock at master...](https://github.com/esp-arduino-libs/ESP32_Display_Panel/tree/master/examples/arduino/gui/lvgl_v8/squareline_wifi_clock)**
>
> Display driver and GUI porting library designed for ESP series SoCs (ESP32, ESP32-S3, ESP32-P4, etc.) - esp-arduino-libs/ESP32\_Display\_Panel

TIA,  
-Terry

Hi, it is possible to take existing UI files and build a project around them. You can transfer theme colors (Themes.slt), images (_.png), fonts (_.ttf, \*.bin, _.fcfg), and components (_.comp) from one project to another. If you want to use the ESP demo as a base, it’s best to clean up that project first, remove anything unnecessary, and then create your new project from there.
