I was really happy to see that my feature request was done when I read this about TitleBar in beta4 : 

"Also, the DropDown control is now used automatically with the title bar, when appropriate"

Despite of this, I didn't yet success to make the TitleBar as a DropDown.... Exactly the same behavior than the beta3 ( exept the new background color (  ) 

So, I may be wrong... Does somebody success to make it one ?

titleBar : TitleBar {}

from the release notes, it appears you need to have quite a lot of options...try putting a lot of options to see if it works

haven't had a chance to try this yet...

That's what I did ( more than 10 Option !! ) 

So, I think this is a lie from RIM or a missunderstood from me....

If people can test it and report me what they get, I would be greatefull.

Yeah you're right, the docs are wrong again. Same with the color: "support for dark themes and bright themes has been incorporated".... I can only get the bar to show blue. In the API doc they show it black... I want it black!

[dridk]

Yes..this is a big mistake from Rim ...particullary when they focus this new features on the release note main page.....

Ouu I stumbled upon the solution for the black titleBar! (Too bad that project is already complete) The docs are a little misleading and I never knew you could set the theme application wide.

1. you must add "<cascadesTheme>dark</cascadesTheme>" to you bar-descriptor.xml (it will give you a warning, ignore it).

2. when you define the titleBar in QML, set "branded: TriBool.False"

Lol.... 

After my bug request about this features.... They removed all text about DropDown from the documentation...

I didn't know if they plan to make it
