Yeah, saw the blog thanks. Will try it out when i get around to do the local install.

Hi mathias

in case you did not subscribe the blog - the skin editor seems to be available now.

Best regards

[mathias]

Sweet thx. Glad to see they're doing some stuff in the calendar department.

Hi mathias,

the 13.0 showcase is online.

Best regards
Blama

[Isomorphic]

We will start 13.0d builds in a few days, including switching "-latest" resources to 13.0. Watch the blog for feature announcements.

[Blama]

Jumping on that train too (out of interest). Waiting that smartclient-latest/showcase will show a different version number in the lower left :)

[mathias]

Ooo, 13!. We are as you probably can sense evaluating making a new version of our web and which technology to choose. Do you have anything to share regarding 13.0? for example release date, progress etc.

[Isomorphic]

OK, that explains the disconnect. Yes, by online we mean hosted at Reify.com.

All of that is coming. The 13.0 version even has a gradient editor with configurable color stops.

[mathias]

Yes. I didn't get from the announcement or this thread that online meant through your infrastructure. Thanks.

Some feedback:

Great start! There are more things i could imagine being able to configure - for example rounding of buttons, tabs, sizes of buttons and tabs.

This tool will be great for our non-technical people to play with.

The online Skin Editor is a feature of the 12.1 release. If you have access to 12.1 you will have access to it. That's what we announced on the blog.

But 12.1 is a downloadable release, and the Skin Editor is an online tool. There is no reason they would need to be available on the same day. There are issues in the online Skin Editor which do not affect the rest of the downloadable 12.1 release, so access to the online Skin Editor has not been announced.

All clear now?

[mathias]

Hey thanks for quick response!

Sorry i missed your comment, but how do you mean you have not announced it? Half your isomorphic.com landingpage is "12.1 available now", if you click on it you have "It's here!" and literally the first item in what's new is "online skin editor".

Also, your latest blog post deals with "what's new in 12.1" saying "Our 12.1 release comes with an ‘Online Skin Editor‘". This is what made me spend more than an hour trying to get it running yesterday.

*Nowhere* is it mentioned that it's not announced, or in beta.

However, thanks i will check the preview.

[Isomorphic]

To reiterate:

We have intentionally not yet announced the online skin editor, because it's got a few bugs.

That would be why you're not finding links to the online skin editor on the blog or in the docs. Because we have intentionally not yet announced it.

But we just gave you the URL to the not-yet-announced-on-the-blog online Skin Editor, if you want to preview it. To use it, click the link.

[mathias]

Well, if the showcase war is where i'm supposed to see it, it's not there. See attached screenshot.



I would also, in that case, mention that i think the documentation would benefit from some instructions on *where* this "online skin editor" resides and how one's supposed to use it. As would the blog post have, IMO. Just trying to help!

Is there any way for me to activate this editor myself right now, or do i have to wait for a new release?

All the best.

[Isomorphic]

Hi Mathias, we'll check on why there is no link in downloaded packages. There is supposed to be one, but perhaps we have an error where it's not shown for Pro packages.

We have intentionally not yet announced the online skin editor, because it's got a few bugs. If you want to play with it, it's here - you will need to be logged in with an account that has a Pro or better license. We'd welcome feedback, but keep in mind, it's not announced yet because we know some things are broken :)

[mathias]

Hey, I thought i'd take a look at the advertised "online skin editor", but i'm having some problems getting up and running, so i'm hijacking this thread. :)

I read the blog post here:
http://blog.isomorphic.com/your-web-...olor-you-want/
Which is what made me want to take a look.

However, the post doesn't mention much about *how* to utilize the "online" part. I couldn't find it in any online showcase.
I checked the quickstart PDF and the "Skinning" javadoc page (https://www.smartclient.com/smartgwt.../Skinning.html). Neither make any mention of the online skin editor.

So, i downloaded 12.1 , deployed the showcase in Tomcat locally, could find nothing there either. I can see something in the WAR under /tools/skinTools, but there's no reference to it from the showcase, nor any servlet defined in web.xml, so, what am i missing?

Pointers appreciated.
