Modal window size and position stored in settings

If you resize and/or reposition modal windows displayed in an app, their position and size are now stored in settings and the last size and/or position saved is restored on reopening. Doubleclicking on the header will restore the initial position of the window. Doubleclicking on the resizer will restore the initial dimension of the window.

If a modal cannot be entirely displayed, the size and position are reset. Modals with the same name in an app will share the same window position and size.

There are exceptions to when modal windows' position and size are not stored in settings:
  • Modal windows positioned with the 4st position style attribute set to field and center do not have their position saved in stored settings.
  • System modal windows, such as the Settings window, do not have their position or dimension saved in stored settings.

Material variable for tab margins

A new material variable is available:
$mt-tab-items-container-margin Defines the margin of the folder widget's container element around the page widget. Default value is $mt-tabs-margin-ratio* 6px

Changes in theme conditions

The "isEdge" theme condition has been removed from the documentation, as the Microsoft™ Edge browser now uses the chrome rendering engine and is handled by the "isChrome" theme condition.

The "isIE" theme condition has been removed from the documentation, as the Genero Browser Client no longer supports Microsoft™ Internet Explorer.

The "isOpera" theme condition has been removed from the documentation, as the Genero Browser Client no longer supports Opera.

For the current list of theme conditions, see Theme conditions.
