Hi everyone,

using PB2019 build 2170 how do you keep consistency in datawindows when using themes and custom code for background color ?

See this example :

how to make that F2 look like F1 ?

Thanks for suggestions.

Philippe.

Hi Phillipe;

   FWIW: I would not even bother with PB2019  as the Theme feature was only partially implemented. Please upgrade to PB 2019 R2 to fully utilize the Theme feature in its totally revamped state. The latest R2 build BTW is #2328.

Regards ... Chris

Hi Philippe，

 

I have built a test case to test it but I can neither reproduce it in PB2019 build 2170 nor PB2019 build 2328 on our side. Of cause, I also suggest that you upgrade your app to PB2019 build 2328, which will provide you better Theme feature.

If you can also reproduce it in the other machine,  I suggest you report a bug via our support ticketing system : https://www.appeon.com/standardsupport/newbug and also please provide a reproducible sample test case for us to reproduce it. 

 

Regards,

Hi Mark,

do you apply a theme ?

In my case a theme (Flat design dark) is defined at application level.

Mark,
I've tested in 2019 R2, it works with themes supplied by Appeon.
I made a custom one by copying "Flat design blue" and modified background color setting for dwo-column ("background-color":"#F1F4FC",) then the rendering is not the same if you have an expression for the background color of a column. see picture attached ...

Regards,

Can you provide a reproducible sample test case (with PBT / PBL + Json file) for us to reproduce it?

Mark,

here is a compressed file containing a sample application (pbw, pbt, pbl) and the json file.

Hope this will help.

Hi Mark,

in our application we use a lot of expression for background colors in DW.

This way we cannot have consistency in the visual interface.

If this is the expected behavior themes, can we not have a method that returns the values applied by the theme?

I feel your pain, Phillipe. The inability to interrogate and control the details of column and text DWObjects, static text, single line & multi-line edit controls, radio buttons and check boxes, etc. when themes are in use is THE reason we cannot use themes. We had high hopes for the UI Modernization enhancements, but for many reasons it is unusable for us in its current form and has proven to be a HUGE disappointment.

Hi Philippe & John,

Currently, we don't have a method that returns the values applied by the Theme.

But yes, this must be a pain for you. So I will record it as a new enhancement / requirement request and will transfer it to our product team for consideration. Thanks for your understanding.

Regards,
