Hi,
Just downloaded RC8 and opened one sollution and see that on some forms, the background color has changed. A quick glance through my solution says that it’s mainly the header and footer part of the form. but is doesn’t happen for all forms. On the forms that it happens, the background color of the formparts are all set to default.

We’ve done a fix for the background color to obey the look and feel that is set in your preferences.
Up till now , the background color was always set to white, no matter what LAF you were using.
So in your case you are probably using a LAF that sets the background to grey.
You will have to set all your background colors to white manually
Sorry for this inconvenience.
For the OSX lovers, good news.
check out the Liquid Look and Feel.
bit of work for me then…
I do find it strange that it doesn’t happen on every form… (or maybe I allready set it to white once…)
Another thing I saw (in my case on my custom controller) is that if I have a form with a header, body and a footer and the body shows a listview, that the part of the body that shows records is now grey and the part of the body between the last record of the listview and the start of the footer is white… Looks strange to me or is this how it’s supposed to work?

yeah, thatM-4s what I want with the Liquid L&F.
But now thereM-4s a new problem when using Liquid. The screen refresh is very bad.
f.e. First everything looks fine.
But after I switch to a different form and if I click on a menu there are no menu items, but when I go down with the mouse one after the other appears, like a mouseOver, but then again the space of the menuitems is colored with a (background?)color which covers the fields of the form. If you go with the mouse over that area, the fields appear again.
Only with Liquid L&F
did you do a complete Servoy restart after switching to liquid LAF?
If I set the body or header color on default, than in designer I see the background in white!
in browse-mode it takes the LAF’s default.
Can you make this in design-mode too?
If I have form in Table or listview and only have 2 records, than the space beneath the records is white!!!
I don’t like that, please can you make this the same as the body??
third (I hope last reply) about background color!
All my printlayouts are now in grey!! because they have all default.’
Do I have to change them all? that’s a lot of work!
could shut down this new feature, if I do a print-preview?
I do like this new feature, but I think it is not optimal!
The BackGround and ForeGround properties in the PropertyEditor do not seem to always reflect the actual color either…
Think this has been the case for a while, but never realy paid attention to it…

Behaviour will be changed in Servoy 2.0 rc9

If you select the default color, the LAF provides a color (or background image on mac like brused metal), before Servoy 2.0 rc8 we set the color to white when the default color was selected (which was a bad implementation)
