Appearance menu redesign


The style settings drawer, in which you can choose to change the appearance of different elements, rows, and others, got a redesign. The redesign will help to make the menu look more structured and orderly, because the toggles are now better grouped together and the UI is more compact. The style settings drawer will also now be colored and match the element/row actions at the corners of the elements or rows.
Here as an example you can see the style settings drawer of a flipcard before and after the changes described in this changelog.

Align element height to row for additional elements


In addition to the flipcard, you can now adjust the height of the following elements to align with the row height:

  1. Element group (only stylesheets that are not expandable)
  2. Table
  3. Text
  4. Image

Element Text: Extended inner spacing


In LXT, many of our customers like to use drop shadows as an option for text elements with stylesheet „Default“. However, this comes with the cosmetic disadvantage that the text and drop shadow are positioned too close together. To use text elements with drop shadows in a visually appealing way, you had to use either text formatting functions or an expanded element group.

This workaround is no longer necessary, as there is now a new “Extended inner spacing” toggle. This creates the needed space around the text.

More design options for tables


You now have a range of new formatting options available for the table via the appearance on the element. These include:

  • Background color
  • Table cell spacing
  • Border color (horizontal, vertical, outer)
  • Drop shadow
  • Rounded Corners
