LAF Package Table Frame Issues

Question

I have successfully implemented Francois' LAF package (Thanks very much, Fancois!) and
am adapting the functionality to make our forms look more web-like, but I am having a few
problems.
First, I am having a problem where the table frames (header and body frames) are either
vertically off or are vertically stretched. In the case where they are vertically off, I have a
single table block with 14 rows and a vertical scrollbar. The frame is about an inch
higher than it should be to line up with the table. In the case where the frames are
stretched, I have 2 different database blocks on the same canvas with a vertical scrollbar
controlling both and a horizontal scrollbar controlling one.
Second, and this seems to be pretty basic (I should probably know how to do this after
almost 10 years of Forms work). We use text items with no bevel to display the version
of the software, user ID, database host, and login time on each canvas. These items
have a gray background and they stand out like sore thumbs on the fancy new
gradient-enriched canvas. I'd love to find a way where I could just show the text without
having a background color so it would behave like boilerplate text.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Francois,
We have the same issues. I pointed them out in mt previous post related to Display Items. They don't have an implementation class ... That will be an issue.
The only way to fix it is to turn them into TextItem.
We also have an issue with Gradient Color ---> experience some flickering effect.
First we see the default color and then the Gradient Color. This is only on when loading the form, it's fine when we switch the canvases already inside the form.
The third issue is with Tabs. When the Gradient Color applied we see some default coloring around tabs.
I feel that in conflict with the default Oracle's code at init() event. I do agree with you that this is the Open Source Project. But Oracle's Code is not an open source.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Michael
