Folder backgroundColor inheritance changes

Starting from GBC version 5.00.06, the Folder widget will no longer inherit the backgroundColor presentation style from a parent widget. This change is standard now in all front-ends, including GDC, GMA, and GMI.

backgroundColor style inheritance applies to specific widgets:

  • The following widgets will not inherit the backgroundColor style: FormField, TopMenu, ToolBar, TopMenuGroup, TopMenuCommand, ToolBarItem, Button, MenuAction, Action, Group, and Folder.
  • Widgets not in the above list will inherit the backgroundColor style. For example, if a Window has VBox or HBox as a child widget, then the VBox or HBox will inherit the backgroundColor set for the Window.

If you want a Folder to have a specific background color, you need to set it on the Folder directly.

For more information on using presentation styles, refer to the Using presentation styles section and the Style attribute inheritance page in the Genero Business Development Language User Guide.
