In this research, we address the challenge of converting GUI sketches into styled, coded interfaces by introducing a novel method that takes both the sketch and a chosen reference style into account. By automatically incorporating the selected style into the sketch components and employing an automatic code generation technique, the method streamlines the design process and allows designers to explore various styles more effectively. Initial experiments with the navigation bar component indicate the potential of this approach for rapid, style-aware web development.
