Feature

Description

StyleSeet support

Designtime support

Web Client support

Smart Client support

Rounded Borders

Ability to have borders with rounded corners.

Yes, through the CSS3 border-radius property

Property Syntax:

  • border-radius: radi:px|%
  • border-radius: horizontal-radi:px|% / vertical-radi:px|%

    Examples:
  • border-radius: 5px
  • border-radius: 5px 10px 5px 10px / 10px 5px 10px 5px;
  • border-radius: 5px;
  • border-radius: 5px 10px / 10px;

Yes, using the Rounded Border borderType

Yes, depending on the browser support for the border-radius property

Previous version of Servoy already supported Rounded Borders through the SpecialMatte borderType value. Additionally there is now also a RoundedBorder borderType value, which offers more flexibility.

Due to limitations in the Look and Feels used within the Smart Client, background-colors of elements bleed out of a rounded border and/or LAFs have a border hardcoded into the Look and thus do not render the Rounded Boder or render both.

Gradient backgrounds

Ability to have background color transition from one color to another color.
Support is currently restricted to linear gradients with a start and end color and a vertical or horizontal orientation

Yes, through the linear-gradient value for the CSS background-image property

Property Syntax:

  • background-image: linear-gradient(<orientation:top|left>,<startColor>,<endColor>); 
    Examples:
  • background-image: linear-gradient(top, white, gray);
  • background-image: linear-gradient(left, #fefcea, #f1da36);

No

Yes, depending on browser support. With the current restrictions in place, the browser support is good, including older IE versions

Only on Forms and Form Parts and only horizontal gradients

Semi transparent colors

Ability to use colors that are not 100% opaque, but semi transparent, which means that whatever lies underneath partially shines through

Yes, using rgba values instead of hex of rgb values.

Value Syntax:

  • rgba(red:0-255, green:0-255, blue:0-255, opacity:0-1) 
    Examples:
  • color: rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.5) //50% transparent red
  • background-color: rgba(0, 255, 0, 0.1) //10% transparent green
  • border-color: rgba(0, 0, 255, 0.9) //90% transparent blue

No

Yes, depending on browser support

No

Opacity

Ability to make an component and all it's children render semi-transparent

Yes

Property Syntax:

  • opacity: 0.0-1.0

The image can optionally be repeated horizontally, vertically or both

The image can be fixed in position within a scrollable panel
The image can be resized before being used

Yes

Property Syntax:

  • background-image: url(media:///myImage.png); 
  • background-position: vertical:top|center|bottom|px|% horizontal:top|center|bottom|px|%; 
  • background-repeat: repeat|repeat-x|repeat-y|no-repeat;

No

Browser support for background-image, background-position, background-repeat and background-attachment is good, as they are part of CSS 2.1.

Only on Forms and Form Parts
