What’s New

Here are some of the new features and enhancements in Themer 1.2.

Support for Ext JS 6.5

Ext JS 6.5 delivers some amazing new capabilities for the Modern toolkit, so you can deliver rich experiences for mobile and now for desktop too. With more than 300+ new Sass variables in Ext JS 6.5, you can create amazing-looking applications with Ext JS 6.5 and Themer 1.2.

Easily Theme New Components Including Date Panel

Ext JS 6.5 provides a new datepanel component in Modern toolkit. On desktop devices, the datefield component uses the new datepanel. Themer makes it easy to change datepanel Sass variables for borders, panel headers, panel body, panel cell, panel focused cell, and caption.

Create UIs with Distinct Looks for New Components Including Dialog

The new dialog component in Ext JS 6.5 is resizable, draggable and closable and provides a convenient way to display a “popup” component. With Themer, you can create UI mixins for generating multiple visual renditions of the dialog component by changing the styles of the dialog header, body, and tool, as well as different states of tools – disabled, hovered, pressed, and focused.

Theme Form Validations and Menus with New Theme Variables

Building sophisticated, data-entry applications requires creating forms with input masking and advanced validation features. In Ext JS 6.5, forms and field components have been enhanced with field validation and input masking. With Themer, you can customize error validations with error message fonts, line heights, under margins, as well as error icon colors.

Menus are an important component in desktop and mobile applications. They appear in places like context menus or multi-function buttons. Menu items can have icons, be checked, participate in “radio” groups and, of course, they can have sub-menus of their own. With Themer, you can easily create a “UI” mixin or change the styles of the menu border, header, icon colors, menu body, menu item, menu separator, as well different states of menu items – active, focused, disabled, and more.

Support for ExtReact

Last week, we announced ExtReact, our newest product. ExtReact is the most complete set of professionally tested and commercially supported React components. ExtReact also features an extensive Sass-based theming API and support for Themer that gives developers complete control over the look-and-feel of their applications. With Themer 1.2, you can theme all ExtReact components and create UI mixins for generating multiple visual renditions of ExtReact components. Both designers and developers can create beautiful themes and apply them to ExtReact apps without writing code.
