Hi, no. The physical limitation is the screen size/finger size and those won't change ;-) Even on Tablets which resolved some of the screen size limits the screen is still smaller and the UI elements need to be "finger friendly". So you should stick in more details but not nearly as much as we used to on the desktop. Frankly, it's better in terms of UX and software development. We work with a lot of forms but each one is smaller and simpler, that makes them easier to explain, understand and develop. We worked with several companies in your position who tried moving a desktop app UI "as is". The results varied. I suggest talking with the users about this and letting them feel the UI. Try it on the target devices early on to see how it feels even without the functionality. When you start using it on a physical device you'll know if you're on the right direction. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CodenameOne Discussions" group.

Thanks. Sorry to take up so much of your time. Do you predict in a couple of years the hardware will better support more complex UI's? For me it makes sense as our product is primarily used on PC's using Swing and so to provide functionality in the mobile devices that are farmiluar to them makes it more attractive as the users do not have to learn 2 different apps. The PC app is extensivly used in the office while things like greeting a customer or performing an extensive multipoint inspection in the shop or while driving a customer home and taking photos in real-time in important. Seems like moving from form to form, looses the information from the previous form that I may be relevent to this form. Then when I go back, I have to reload all the data. Thanks for all your help.

They don't actually change the images, it's just a rendering bug. If you click the themes again you'll see all the constants back to normal. I find that we need to take complex swing/desktop UI's and break them down to more forms when moving from desktop to mobile. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CodenameOne Discussions" group.

[codenameone-discussions] Re: How to limit the spacing between 2 or more TABS (Left Orientation)
On another note, do you think I am potentially building a UI that is too demanding for mobile devices? Should I be thinking much less complex? I like to give usere as much of a feature set that the they have in the Swing App. I am acustom to Swing apps for decades. Thoughts?

[codenameone-discussions] Re: How to limit the spacing between 2 or more TABS (Left Orientation)
Seems when I add this constant, it is applied to all images. I deleted the constant, saved my theme. closed the Codename One Designer Theses Dialog Restarted, w/o selecting any image and clicking on constants, I see the key tabsGridBool set. Perhaps I am not undersytanding how to manipulate this. In the Theme Images list, I assume I would select an image (Now "mpiTabMetalSelected" highlighted Unselected Tab) and click on Constants, then manage the keys in the Constants list. All approaches have apparently made global changes to all images. Thoughts? On Thursday, September 12, 2019 at 10:37:46 PM UTC-4, Shai Almog wrote: > That's just a bug in this old UI.

That's just a bug in this old UI.

[codenameone-discussions] Re: How to limit the spacing between 2 or more TABS (Left Orientation)
Initially I filtered on th the "mpiTabMetalSelected" Theme image See AddTabsGridBool_12.JPG Then I clicked the "Constants" Tab where I attempted to add tabsGridBool to the filtered theme image., However when click OK, New Constant does not appear in the list. See AddTabsGridBool_13.JPG & AddTabsGridBool_14.JPG Now if I remove the filter, all the theme images contain this constant. See AddTabsGridBool_15.JPG So how do I set this constant for specific theme images? Thoughts?

[codenameone-discussions] Re: How to limit the spacing between 2 or more TABS (Left Orientation)
Yes, I wanted to only affect the one image. I see, it appears the Constants apply to all style images. Is this correct? If so, whats the thinking behind this? Regards.

I understand, however in doing this, clicking OK never adds it to the list, I click Add (See Attached AddTabsGridBool_1.JPG), it opens the dialog AddTabsGridBool.JPG, I set Constant to tabsGridBool and toggle the Value checkbox until it is set to false. as seen in attached AddTabsGridBool.JPG. I click on OK and expect to see this key added to the constants table seen in AddTabsGridBool_1.JPG, however it is empty. Thoughts?
