as said many times there is not object mapping into database. learn how delegator's work. the beauty of ofbiz frame work is once you define a new field in a entity it is available through the delegator, in any code. No need to map. = BJ Freeman Strategic Power Office

What happeded to the real flatgrey theme?

That's not true. Every change is discussed and debated. The OFBiz developers and the PMC don't live in a vacuum - they have production systems to maintain. It is silly to think they would not consider those production systems when proposing changes. -Adrian --- On Thu, 1/20/11, BJ Freeman

I don't see where any backward compatibility was broken - unless you are referring to the screenshots in Ruth's books. By the way, I believe those books are based on release 9.04 - which has the previous version of the Flat Grey theme. It's also interesting to note that the release 9.04 Flat

I couldn't disagree more. The OFBiz code base is a NIGHTMARE because of attempts at backward compatibility. This makes it incredibly difficult to customize because everything you look at has high levels of redundancy (causing all sorts of bugs and inconsistencies), and everything you touch
