Hi Philippe

 

Good day!

 

I am facing one issue in the middle of implementing the UI theme (Flat bue) in my source code. Is it possible apply the same functionality of single line edit control in freeform  datawindow column other than radio buttons, checkbox and dropdowns. My actual need is to focus through any of the freeform datawindow column other than radio buttons, checkbox and dropdowns the functionality should like (border color , background color setting) same as that of single line edit control as mentioned in the json file.

Regards

Rajkumar K S

Currently not. I expect Appeon is looking for enhancement requests.

PB Docs state that colors, borders, and images (arrows, checkboxes, etc.) can be themed in this release.

Any remaining options are undocumented if present at all. I tried 10 different property names to modify font face. No luck.

I guess reason for not including font face/style/size is complexity of consequences when you change.

Few years back I was involved in replacing look-and-feel of PB app, 2500 DW objects, 100s of Windows. We changed font Arial => Tahoma. We couldn't fit Verdana and several other relevant fonts. Reason: Text being chopped one way or another within defined width x height. Most controls don't have slide and auto-height properties. PB uses fixed - except for visual objects on DataWindow surface.

  • One place, vertical bar in leading "L" turned from black to semi-cyan because of subpixel chopped off.
  • In a tightly spaced table, all characters lost bottom 2 pixels
  • Another font, and all dates had 3-digit year (20-06-2010 - 20-06-2019 both displayed 20-06-201).
