Cascades Development

[nicklas]

Hi,

I have started to work (or play) with Cascades.

So, how to move application menu on the left or on the right ? or on the top ? (it's always on the bottom)

How to change the default color / background of the menu (I want a transparent menu)

How to design a "swipedown" menu (as the native BlackBerry web browser) ?

How do I customize a default components (without create a new component from scratch) ?

Will try and answer your questions.

The Application Menu should always be at the top of the screen and it should contain the less often used options.

Swipedown signal connects as discussed on this thread.

You should be able to use the default controls as the basis for your Custom Control - the process is detailed here.
