HCL Nomad Web 1.0.11
- Attachments in Firefox support: File attachments are now supported in Firefox, so file attachments are now supported by all supported browsers.
- Color picker updated: The color picker has been replaced with a more functional color picker.
- Domino Restyle updates:
- Designer: There are two new actions available in Designer when viewing the design element lists: Restyle and Restyle Fonts. These actions are visible after a database has been restyled once using the Restyle Wizard.
- Restyle invokes the “Restyle” function on the design elements selected in the list. The Restyle options from the previous full Restyle operation are used in this context.
- Restyle Fonts invokes the “Restyle” function but only updates the fonts using the settings selected from the previous full Restyle. This action leaves all other design attributes on the selected design elements untouched. Both actions are available for Framesets, Pages, Forms Views, Folders, Outlines, Subforms, Fields and Columns​.
- When restyling a copy, select Make a new copy, so that I can test restyle from scratch to start from a fresh copy, removing the old copy you had been working on. For more information, see Making a copy of an application in Restyle.
- Choose whether or not About Application document and Using Application document elements should be restyled. Previously, About and Using documents were automatically restyled. The current default is to restyle them (checked), but they can be deselected if desired.
- Shared, private on first use, and private views and folders that are stored in the database will also be restyled.
- Restyled action icons may be selected for applications that are not restyled. Previously, restyled applications received updated action icons. For more information, see Updating icons with Restyle.
- A new Flat button style is available for buttons on forms, pages, and documents. This style is similar to a Rounded button, but draws the focus around the button in an updated style. The Flat button style is available for all applications. If the application has been restyled, a new button will automatically be created with the Flat style, with a color that matches the application color, and a contrasting text color. If the application has not been restyled, the button will be blue with white text, as shown below.
- Designer: There are two new actions available in Designer when viewing the design element lists: Restyle and Restyle Fonts. These actions are visible after a database has been restyled once using the Restyle Wizard.
