Hmm…is it me or did 3.5.5 just undo the fix for the background color of body form ?
When set to default the form is white instead of the LAF’s default color (grey in my case).

Seems this is the same issue again ( http://forum.servoy.com/viewtopic.php?t=9606 )

How can I use auto update for installations where only application server is installed and not developer?

The application server doesn’t have help menu.

And when download the complete installation and install it, it requires to use the correct options and I want to avoid that the operator uses wrong options. Otherwise I always have to do these updates myself.

In the servoy directory you find servoy_server_updater.jar.
With this you can update server from the commandline.

Hope this helps.

not in my case.
you say, the color of the body, the post you refer to, is saying the color, of the header part?

both are working fine here.
(Win XP Java 1.6)

This seems to be a Mac-only issue. The header and body don’t show the default LAF color.
Setting a custom background color does work.

Why now the default alignment of text elements has been changed from left to center?

We must change the interface of all solutions?

Hi Giovanni,

gzola:

Are you referring to the screenshot I posted? I aligned it like that.
I don’t see any text alignment changes between 2.5.4 and 2.5.5.
Or are you referring to checkboxes and comboboxes being centered?
If so then read this thread.

Hope this helps.

I was referring to the combobox. Many thanks for response

Hi Servoyans

I can confirm that as well :-(

Regards, Robert

Hello Sandor

Of course for me it’s not a fix if you have undone transparency support for forms :-(
It was just an inconsistent behaviour according to transparency and this inconsistency is back again.

I hope we are not getting more and more into work around programming with Servoy because of hangovers from previous versions.

When is transparency on forms working again?

Best regards, Robert

Form transparency will re-appear in 4.0. Unfortunately, because it ruins many people’s current production systems, it cannot be re-introduced in 3.5.

Hi Sandor

Thanks and I am looking forward to Version 4 :-)

Best regards, Robert

I have a problem printing total fileds at end report. The fields are placed in a section Trailing Grand summary or footer. If fields summary is set anchors on the right, the fields are not printed.

What you can confirm?

Thanks.

Any news on this one?
I upgraded today some customers to 3.5.5 and they have Mac’s with WHITE background in the body! :-(

I got a message, that it is fixed, in the next release! :D

Thank you Servoy!

First of all anchors are not meant to be used in print forms. Right anchor is a special case because it will anchor to the right of your window; this may cause some elements to be outside of the printable area. There are some workarounds to this problem you can try: use print sliding, change screen resolution( the higher the resolution, the higher the risk for elements to get outside printable area),move element to the left in the form, change size of the paper from print preview.
