Release - version 21.13
The most important changes made in version 21.13 are described below.
Building your own application theme
In the current release, a mechanism has been created to define your own application theme, allowing you to define it directly in the browser on any of the Web application screens using a graphical editor launched in the side panel.
The editor gives you the ability to modify such aspects of Web application styling as colors, fonts, margins, borders for different classes of components - both whole page, containers, headers, menus. Once the definition is saved, it is stored in the application configuration stored in the Version server.
Application settings editor
There is a new editor for application settings, which were previously defined in the application configuration files, and starting from the current version are directly in the application Version server. There are also sections in the editor for the ability to configure the appearance of the application added in this release.
Greater application styling capabilities
The mechanism for configuring the appearance of web applications has been expanded to include the following functionalities:
- ability to define the appearance of a custom header and footer in the application
- possibility to choose an image as a background for the container
- better menu presentation on mobile devices
- ability to dock the action panel at the bottom or top of the page for forms and lists
- possibility to change the style of the list filter panel
Added ability to specify style for header and filter panel for list
- more precise possibilities for specifying container styles
The mechanism for specifying style for containers has been divided into several additional categories, so you can separately manage different aspects of appearance: controlling spacing and margins, spacing between rows and columns of the container, specifying behavior when the cursor clicks on the container.
