First is grids. The Panel now has a few new properties. Panel.showGrid turns on or off a grid drawn in the background. Panel.gridColor and Panel.gridSize let you control the color of the grid lines and how far apart they are. Grids also apply to the chart classes and work the same way.
Next is alternating rows for Lists and ComboBoxes. These now have an alternatingRow property which is false by default. Set it to true and every other row will be colored differently. You also have alternateColor, which along with defaultColor allows you to set the colors of the rows.
Finally, I didn’t like the way the Window’s title bar was inset. So it is no longer inset. And it now has a property called grips. This is a Shape object. It’s invisible by default, but if you set Window.grips.visible to true, you’ll see lines there that give it a bit of a tactile sense to the bar for dragging. I left it as a shape so if you want you can draw your own graphics in there if you don’t like the lines. Be warned though, it scales according to the width of the window, the size of the label, and whether or not there is a close button. I’m open for suggestions on how to make that all better.
