[flexcoders] Re: problems with ApplicationControlBar ...
Well I sorted it out, but it is far from clear as to why the solution
works ...
If you set the borderstyle to applicationControlBar it all works as
expected, set the borderstyle to default and you get a black
background, set it to solid and the colour is blue in my case
Why does a setting of borderstyle have such a huge affect on the
background of the control ?
Why does it all work in the style explorer but not in my app ?

fillColors: #0033ff, #0066ff;

I paste this into my app and I do not get the same results.
It appears that I cannot set the fillcolours (I think). The colours
here are blue here but the control shows as brown as my background to
my app is the smoke_bg.jpg.
Any help appreciated

I think there is a bug in the style explorer. When you set the drop
shadow colour of the applicationcontrolbar the css is created for the
linkbar

Re: [flexcoders] Re: problems with ApplicationControlBar ...
Actually, there's more to it than that.
If you notice in your CSS from the Style Explorer, you've got fillAlphas set
to [0.53, 0.42] ... That means your ApplicationControlBar is transparent and
your brown background is showing through. On the Flex Style Explorer, the
default background is that blue gradient... So, the ApplicationControlBar
appears blue... If you go to application section of the style explorer and
change the page background to match yours, you should see the same results.
So, what you really want to do is simply change your fillAlphas to [1, 1] so
that there's no transparency, and the color beneath doesn't show through.
Also, thanks for catching and passing along the dropShadowColor bug. I've
fixed it in the source, and you'll see the fix in the next release.
Thanks again,
-Peter
