Changes in Q2

[Trude]

Can you please give us a detailed changelog of RadWindow in Q2? Obviously there has been a major make-over. Surprisingly (and luckily) two rather serious performance issues disappeared, but the style and look seems to have suffered. We're using the Windows 7 theme and the header and border does not look the same anymore (header seems to fit it's content rather than have a fixed size and borders are thinner). There also seems to be issues with the borderbrush (no transparency)

Attached is a sample. It just does not look good. The modal background is also very dark instead of the light blue it used to be.

And yes, I'm using the latest internal build.

Hello,

The RadWindow does not have shadow at the moment however we have plans to enable it. We are currently researching a way to add it without damaging the CPU. We will turn back the old Windows7 look and feel for the service pack. The fix will be also available in one of the upcoming releases. If you could use the window in its current state until the SP1 the design will be back to normal.

I am sorry for the inconvenience. If you really need a fix I could provide the RadWindow's Windows7 XAML with less transparent background but it will still be without shadow. I would recommend you to upgrade to the SP1 once it is released.
