I observed hopefully ZK-3.5 growth.
I like a lot all new components and features and look and feel.
I tried on my app... but I was shocked...
Nothing works...
I have great incompatibility problems.
I realized a "webOS" application where I have a taskbar and window that opens on a desktop.
My taskbar was realized as window without borders and title.
With ZK-3.5 I have new look and feel borders and I was no able to drop them.
In ZK-3.5-FL of 9 Aug. there was a "mold="v30"" that solved my problem, but in official one there is no more.
In my app I have situations where a window opens and in its "onCreate" execute a postEvent where opens another window.
The last one opens on first one.
In ZK-3.5 this no more works... the second window don't shows.
I have lot of situations where I have A window (overlapped) with buttons to exec "win = createComponent(B window,...); win.setParent(A window)
In ZK-3.5 the new open window is displayed only partially, without title and so on...
It seems that a window B child of window A could open inside the dimensions of A. That is if A is 200px high and
B is 400px high, B is cropped inside A.
Before ZK-3.5 I could have B child of A and A and B tiled horizontally or vertically, side by side, not one in the content
of the other...
I defined "transparent buttons" with a css style, and now this don't work...
So.. for me it's a real disaster...
I could never migrate to ZK-3.5 in this situation... I could not rewrite and test all things...
I think that new features and appealing look and feel are always welcome, but backward compatibility is a must...
