Old Style in new Version

rbuser

Hi!

We are now switching from D5 with RB7 to D7 with RB10. Our customers
and our support-guys are complaining about of the new interface
(special the marking of a object). Is there a way to get back the old
style?

It is very hard to indroduce the new application to users which worked
with the old style.

Thank you.

Feedback on the new interface has been overwhelmingly positive.

One of the strengths of the new report designer is that you can control the
skin/theme - making the interface look modern or old. Here is a tech tip..

-------------------------------------
Tech Tip: ReportBuilder Themes
-------------------------------------

ReportBuilder 10 introduces support for Themes (Skins). There are a couple
of options for specifying which theme is used.


1. Report Designer

From the Report Designer select View | Themes from the main menu and then
select the theme that you would like to use. The specified theme will be
stored in RBuilder.ini and used as the default theme the next time you run
RB.


2. RBuilder.ini.

When deploying an application, you can deploy RBuilder.ini so that
ReportBuilder will use a specific theme.


3. TppThemeManager

At run-time TppThemeManager can be used to programmatically use specify a
theme.

TppThemeManager is defined in ppToolbarTBX.pas. Here are the public class
methods.

TppThemeManager = class
public
class function GetCurrentThemeName: String;
class procedure GetThemeNames(aThemeNames: TStrings);
class procedure SavePreferences;
class procedure SetCurrentTheme(aThemeName: String);
end;


Example:

uses
ppToolbarTBX;


TppThemeManager.SetCurrentTheme(Office2003');

Hi!

Thank you for answering. But the most annoying thing is the new
Selection-Square (outlined Circles)which are not very good to see. Here
we would like to see the old (black squares) one.
