HI ALL:
Is there anyone implement to define Custom widgets in RAP?
We can't set background images for composite or other containers. It's a
disappointing things to developper.
Although RAP Team said we can define Custom widgets or use Theme properties
to improve our application's Interface
who is enhancing the Theme properties capability. If we want to define
Custom Widgets,we must be familiar with Javascript,Qooxdoo,SWT, RAP
knowledge ect. It's a trouble thing. I only wanna to implement a login page
as normal as html page. I wanna to set background image for whole
composite, fill gradient for the page, don't show the button border. It
provides the Theme which change the whole Element Style is too uglily.
Because it's comfortable. But RAP can't give us that for the moment. How
could we do? we have to write JAVA class,Javascript , XML ect. step by
step. When can we develop the RAP application as convenience as RCP. I hope
it's not a long time.

Hi,

sorry that we can't do everything at once. We have limited resources and
try to do our best. Please note that you are still able to use the RAP
stuff for free. However we've noticed that there is a need to improve
the ability for theming and customization of RAP widgets, so we included
this into our short term development goals. For example the background
image on controls should be available in the next milestone build.


Ciao
Frank

Hi,
have you thought about implementing your login dialog outside of your
RAP application (as pure HTML)? This avoids a long startup time and
might preserve resources, as the whole worbench stuff is only loaded if
the user successfully logs in.

Just a thought...
Stefan.

Hi Allen,
I really don't understand you point of view.
The RAP Framework gives you everything you need in order to make really
cool and exciting web applications. Nobody claims that the development of RAP
has been finished and nobody claims that RAP is able to fulfill every whish that a
developer has.
Right now RAP is providing everything a standard developer should need.
If you come to the point where you'd like to do more, then it is your
responsibility to extend your knowledge with the technology you need, to achieve
your goal.
We are not talking about bugs but about features. If you are unsatisfied with
the features you've been provided with, you are free to develop it by yourself and commit
your part to the community.

That's how it works!!!

Regards

Oliver

Oliver,

I agree. I find the behavior, as the English expression goes, of
looking the gift horse in the mouth to be an annoying one. It's open
source. It's free. And it's already very cool. So if it doesn't do what
you want already, get involved and help make it better. If you have
constructive criticism, share it with sensitivity: state all criticism
in the form of a constructive suggestion. Otherwise, go buy product and
complain to their sales team; you'll be paying them to listen. :-P
