Settings for the default appearance and behavior of
Hybrid App Designer elements.
Preferences set default properties for Hybrid App Designer pages. When you create a new Designer form, the
default properties are inherited. During a session, you can modify the properties of
any page. When you do so, you modify only that object instance — preferences are
unchanged and default settings are still used for any new instance.
Hybrid App Designer Preferences
You can set the following preferences in the main
Hybrid App Designer page:
- Optimize for performance provides a more
basic look and feel. Raw HTML controls are used to the extent possible (for
example, there is no signature or slider control in HTML), with little to no CSS
stylization or JavaScript enhancements to customize the look and feel. This
option is always used for Windows Mobile Professional platforms.
- Optimize for appearance provides a more
sophisticated, or native, look and feel, but may affect performance. This option
is not available on Windows Mobile platforms.
- Show the Introduction page when
opening the designer controls whether the Introduction page is
visible or hidden. If this option is enabled, the Designer opens to the
Introduction page, which provides basic information and help.
