  • New faster and more flexible rendering. Since this change affects the CSS that the control uses, it is possible that you may experience problems if you have used custom skins or CSS fixes. In such case, please open a support ticket from [!] your Client.Net account and let us know - we will provide you with the needed fix.

  • support for <select> (<asp:DropDownList/> and <asp:ListBox/>) elements

  • Buttons are decorated in a manner that preserves the button at its original location. It is simply wrapped in a link element. This allows for existing client-scripts that manipulate buttons to continue working - e.g. changing its text. Event handlers, such as onmouseover, onmouseout, etc will work as well.

  • <label> elements, header (H4, H5 and H6) elements, scrollbars (IE only) are styled using CSS inheritance only. Hence they are decorated as soon as they are parsed on the page, before page load. This allows for their pure "native" look, as if they were skinned from the server-side.

  • For the most part fieldsets, textboxes and textareas are styled by using CSS inheritance.

  • Performance optimizations and bugfixes

  • New property added - ControlsToSkip. It allows you to exclude certain controls from decoration set with the DecoratedControls property. For example: DecoratedControls="All" ControlsToSkip="H4H5H6" will decorate all supported controls except headings (h4, h5 and h6)

  • Added new property - EnableRoundedCorners (default is true). Now rounded corners of textboxes and text area can be turned on or off - depending on what the developer chooses.

  • Decorator can be turned on/off through a static method on the client (set_enabled).

  • Changed CSS naming convention

  • Speed and layout improvements, smoother page rendering.

  • Added ability to decorate with background color (for some skins) the container being decorated - a decoration zone or the page's body, thus providing a better look and feel for the page.
