Ideas to beautify bBrowse

I use the bBrowse with the characteristics default
I know there are ways to improve their presentation, make
more "modern"
I should like to hear suggestions from members of the group
with more knowledge / ideas that I

Thanks in advance

I subclassed bBrowser many years ago to get a uniform colour scheme
throughout the application, setting default values for everything,
method/access/assign to turn the selectionbar hilite on/off & change it's
colour depending on the value show, etc...
I also set it up to pass an array of data to set up columns I wanted to see
& not see.
Eg
In the postinit
// Elements - Field to display, access type, width, Server/Owner,
etc...
anArray := {}
aadd( anArray, { #FLD1', #FIELD, 80, SELF, /* + 12 other elements */ } )
aadd( anArray, { {|x| xoSomething() }, #EXPRESSION, 80, SELF, /* + 12
other elements */ } )

Then it's a simple call
SELFBB:Use( SELFServer, anArray, TRUE )
// Where TRUE meant to create the columns from the supplied array

Any further column customisation was done later in the postinit

All the bBrowsers in the app descend from this class so the look and feel is
the same thoughout the app.

we also have a beautified bbrowser, plus we addedd the ability to
search into indexed fields and locate into others. and this then is
all encapsulated in a drop down available for finding data to put into
key fields.

please see www.tdoc.org.uk/5manual and look at the Using TDOC, Basic
Functions, and select "The TDOC Browse".

anyway if you want any code please let me know.

Thanks for the comment

Hi Jorge,

You can show a bitmap on the background. That can look like this:
