WaveMaker 6.2 DevBuild: The “in” color this summer is grey, or is it?
The first DevBuild of WaveMaker 6.2 makes it easy to create and customize the colors, shading, fonts, borders, and curves throughout an application. In the DevBuild the default theme for new projects is grey (aka “graphite”) while migrated projects retain the blue (“tundra”) theme. You can easily change the theme from the default to another theme or create your own unique theme.
Changes can be applied broadly across the entire application or applied to specific widget types, which means you can dramatically change the look of your application with a few simple changes while also fine-tuning to achieve the specific look you want.
Access the Theme Builder from the Source tab. For more information see the release notes.
WaveMaker 6.2 will include updates to core infrastructure. The first component upgraded is Dojo. This DevBuild incorporates Dojo 1.4 into the WaveMaker framework. See the DojoToolkit for more information on Dojo 1.4.
Download the 6.2 DevBuild here. You must be a registered member of the community to access a DevBuild.
I like the new features but please use some color theme as default.
This is sooo boring..

Malamut – yah, the current default theme is a bit bland, grey no less. Now that we have the infrastructure in place we’ll be able to create more themes. You’ll notice the DevBuild currently provides 3 pre-built themes. We’ll improve the look of these themes in subsequent DevBuilds and provide more themes in subsequent releases. We’ll likely change the default theme once we’ve perfected our themes.

Gray is the new Blue! Look at it this way; it may be gray, but its a nice shiny gray
Note: you can change the theme by going to the model, selecting your project from the model, and then going to the property panel on the right to change your project settings for theme.
