Special Upgrade Instructions

Grid/Table Styling Changes

In version 8 grid rows had alternating colours by default (white/grey). This is no longer the default since version 9. To enable alternating colours the 'Grid Row Style' and 'Grid Alternate Row Style' can be set, see Restoring Grid/Table Styling from 8.3 below.

In version 8 grid cells had borders by default. This is no longer the default since version 9. Cell borders can be created by setting the top border in 'Row Styles' and a right border on 'Column Styles', see Restoring Grid/Table Styling from 8.3 below..

In version 8 grid rows were highlighted in green when the mouse hovered over them. This is no longer the default since version 9. This can be restored by setting the background colour of the 'Grid Row Hover Style', see Restoring Grid/Table Styling from 8.3 below..

All styles are listed below.

Styling Review

Previously style attributes were wrongly being inherited even when they were not enabled in the parent style. This has been fixed. Applications should be checked to ensure their styling is still correct and that they weren't relying on the previously broken behaviour.
