@Matt_Mulvaney Great post on the new template component. Label is required due to accessibility concerns. As for the u-color-* classes, you technically could just add a space before the class and it should work (not supported).

[Tim Kimberl @Timan25]

@Matt_Mulvaney Heh, ya the joys of making things more accessible and on brand. We def will be tweaking these in builder in the future. Appreciate the short term solution for the community in the meantime.

@CaptainInsightX Taste

@mgoricki Def plan on tweaking some of the visuals, this was a huge effort to update builder visuals without impacting functionality. So will be interesting to see what other areas people may have issues with, or they just have to use it a bit more :) it is a big change for us.

[Tim Kimberl @Timan25]

@andre_blu You as a developer still have a responsibility on your content/layout. We build our templates to be as adaptable as possible.

We weren't able to show more of the UT26.1 enhancement on today's office hours, but here is the app used to demo some of the new features for those curious. https://t.co/rjAgCERnfI #orclapex

@andre_blu Bug filed to make it respond better when those cards get thinner. That said, this app was built for the Office Hours, we never really expected worry about responsive styling, and forced the columns.

@Matt_Mulvaney @kevinthyssen FontAPEX has always been treated as a standalone open source library.

[Tim Kimberl @Timan25]

@kevinthyssen Easiest way to explain Iris (my personal perspective/opinion), take a the branding/accessible colors from RW, but keep the polish/stableness of Vita. mix the to together and this is what you get. It also helps hint at future direction ;)

[Tim Kimberl @Timan25]

@swesley_perth @mortenbraten @orclapexworld Def gonna take some retraining on our brains but I promise you it'll be better long term ;)

[Tim Kimberl @Timan25]

@andre_blu @plamen_9 @moreaux_louis Thats the underlying advantage and disavantage of Oracle APEX. The developer have too much control over the markup (templates), and how they can construct any item or region variation on a page. Building that in a supportable manner, means certain things seem hacky.

[Tim Kimberl @Timan25]

@plamen_9 There is the item container template you can use to make this easier. We also have some more flex related layout stuff coming in the future.

[Tim Kimberl @Timan25]

@Matt_Mulvaney @andre_blu Iris will evolve overtime, I can’t go into detail on specifics though. It is the new default over Vita but it technically is still Vita / UT under the covers.

@phpandrew lol hello stranger

[Tim Kimberl @Timan25]

@aSteveParker Kinda crazy still seeing the same Orion theme from 2014 still up and working well.

[Tim Kimberl @Timan25]

@andre_blu @Matt_Mulvaney Easiest way to describe it. Take Vita, use the Redwood brand colors, but don't go crazy with all the other Redwood flare. Gets you Iris, it also simplifies theme roller settings, but keeps a clean looking UI that feels fresher.

@Matt_Mulvaney This and the login page are Data Reporter specific

Follow up question to this poll. Those using 2 panel, did you start using APEX before APEX 5.x

[Tim Kimberl @Timan25]

Another poll for the #orclAPEX community. Would love to know your preferred Page Designer layout.
