Luc Bors Weblog

In my current project I encountered a usability issue. The users where unable to see where the cursor was located. It was flickering, but on a page with ,multiple input components it was very difficult to locate the field where the cursor was located. I decided to help them out and that proofed to be both very simple and in the end very helpful. I used skinning to give the active field a colored background. First I defined a skin in my trinidad-config.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" ?> <skins xmlns="http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/skin"> <skin> <id>custom.desktop</id> <family>custom</family> <extends>fusion.desktop</extends> <render-kit-id>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.desktop</render-kit-id> <style-sheet-name>skin/custom.css</style-sheet-name> </skin> </skins> Next I made sure that the application uses the skin by defining it in the...

No new technical entry this month. I've been busy preparing training material for my ADF Masterclass on march 25th. Besides that I wrote my column ADF@WORK (in dutch) and prepared a training on building Web services with JDeveloper.

OGH-visie is the magazine of the Dutch Oracle user group. August 2009: DOAG-magazine: ADF 11g Data Visualization Tools (in German and English). DOAG-magazine is the magazine of the German Oracle user g...
