Hi Jake,
thanks for the heads up. Where would I be able to set the theme to utilize halo
on this case? Is there a declaration I need to make on my MXML?
I tried to set my mxml datagrid column wordWrap style property to FALSE but the
data still wraps. I wonder if this is the proper way to prevent wrapping of the
data for the datagrid column.
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Contact Particulars" width="120"
dataField="contactParticulars" wordWrap="false"/>
Thanks a lot.
Angelo

I'm pretty sure 1 and 3 can both be accomplished by setting the theme property
on the application to "halo" which used to be the default. Now the default is
spark which is the visual change and I believe the backgroundGradient is no
longer applicable there but still is on halo.
