Wish Consistency between editors

[Vader]

I have each of the B4x products. If I open them all together, there are small inconsistencies between each. These are primarily cosmetic. I definitely don't consider these bugs, but it would be great to see consistency between each.

Window title colour
B4A: Green (i.e. B4A colour)
B4i: None (B4i colour is light blue)
B4j: None (B4j colour is red)
B4R: Dark blue (i.e. B4r colour)

B4i Search is not shown as per other 3 (in title bar)

B4R does not have Files Manager Window (Oversight? Bug? Not required?)

Window tab order is inconsistent between editors
B4A:

B4i:

B4j:

B4R:

Module window layout (Icons and style)
B4A:

B4i:

B4j:

B4R:

There are other inconsistencies as well (e.g. popup Window style), and I'm certain that there are other things I could find.

I am well aware that these items are very minor. Presenting a common view makes for easier transition between products, and softens the learning curve.

Thanks.

Not required.

Window tab order is inconsistent between editors

The default order is the same. The user can drag the tabs.

B4j: None (B4j colour is red)

You changed the default theme which is MetroLightPurple for B4J.

B4i Search is not shown as per other 3 (in title bar)

You are using an old version of B4i.

There isn't any real inconsistency in your post...

Oops. Sorry Erel.

I will admit that I have found a couple of inconsistencies (continuity) issues which I have posted about and Anywhere Software have indeed updated or said that they will be in the issue in the next release.

There is one that I find annoying though, but I decided not to post it, well not until I saw this post of yours Darth . I would like to see 'Build Release App' added to the Run option in B4i. Going through the drop down menu every single time when one wishes to build an actual release app when in B4A and B4J you can just choose Release (respectively), I find extremely out of kilter. I presume that Anywhere Software have a logical reason for not adding 'Build Release App' to the drop down list, but I personally find it strange.

I completely understand it in B4R, but not so much in B4i.

By the way the items that you mentioned above really do not bother me at all @Vader.

My comments are meant to be taken as constructive criticism and no I'm not having a go at Anywhere Software, they are doing a great job...

You can use Alt + T + B + R to build a release app.

The logical reason behind the release mode missing from this menu is that release compilation is much "heavier" and is less suitable for continuous development. This is different than in B4J and B4A.

What is the the "default colour" of the B4i IDE ? @Erel
Grey?
Do you have the RGB values?

MetroLight in the theme picker.
