    I agree, windows should be centered vertcially. But windows are NOT centered vertically if you have a long page that’s scrolled down. Instead the window appears near the top of the page, centered as if the page wasn’t scrolled. It seems that your code that centers the window vertically doesn’t take account of the window scrollTop value.

    Why isn’t this the default behavior?

    When I set showAnimationDuration to 0 in the context of my code, the window never appears. Yet when the “close” command executes the transparent gray background appears and doesn’t disappear. I tried setting closeAnimationDuration to 0 too and got the same results.

    Strangely, in a Chrome desktop browser and on an iPad, if I set showAnimationduration to 1000, the window appears with full opacity and then disappears when the “close” command executes. But on an Android tablet the window never appears.

    The ‘auto’ parameter doesn’t work correctly for IE8 and IE9. Even if I set all the HTML content in the window before calling jqxWindow(), the horizontal size stretches out beyond the right edge of the browser, and the height is too short. Is this just a result of not supporting older versions of IE? We have plenty of users who use IE8 & 9.

    Really?

    I would think the autoOpen: false property would set the visibility of the window content to hidden when .jqxWindow() was initially called for the nested divs.

    I’m not trying to reduce the size, I’m trying to reduce the number of files, like I said in my original post.

    I’ve been using this forum for days and didn’t “get” the magnify glass icon. Putting the word “Search” with an always-visible text field like most forums would help. I’m sure Akshar AK and I aren’t the only ones who couldn’t find the search option.

    Thanks Peter. That’s good to know. Still, once a theme is generated, if you want to make adjustments you have to directly edit the resultant CSS. Surely you understand that users (like me) would rather use the GUI to pick colors and preview. After making my first attempt at a theme 2 days ago I’m still reluctant to close the theme editor browser window because I know I’m not done with the theme. I’t hard for me to imagine that it’s that difficult to allow users to paste a produced theme into an editable field to initialize the GUI.
    If you are thinking about making any changes to the Themebuilder, I would really like to see the preview pane at the same time as the GUI for changing css values. You don’t see the immediate results when changing a value in the Settings tab. Unless you’re very familiar with the terms you call various controls, it’s not easy to see exactly what changed when you have to switch from the Settings to the Preview tab. I find myself having to set a value to some horrible color like magenta or lime green, then go view it in the Preview tab to see exactly what changed, then go back to Settings to try the real value I want, then going back to the Preview tab. Most people have monitors big enough to see these side-by-side these days.

    Please disregard my last post. I found the answer in another post that says you need to populate the contents div in the window before showing it. That indeed does work.

    The ‘auto’ parameter value for the width and height properties does not work for me. Only a very small amount of the window content is shown, and scroll bars are shown instead. In my case the window would need to be at least 5 or 6 times as big as it is shown by default. My window statement is as follows:

    $(“#selectOrder”).jqxWindow({ theme: xxxxxxxx.theme, isModal: true, position: { x: 160, y: 170 }, width:’auto’, height:’auto’, animationType:’none’, autoOpen: false });

    My window content is one line of text, followed by a table with 2 rows and 4 columns that contain text and links, followed by a link. The table content is generated dynamically from results of an ajax call. However the window size isn’t even big enough to show the first line of static text.

    This is basic window functionality. What do I need to do to make this work?

    Do you plan to change this?

    It can take a long time to make a theme, and my fear is that with a new version of jqwidgets, we’ll need to create a new theme for new widgets to be themed.
