Properties Window
The project, its forms and the controls on those forms have information about them that can be edited in the Properties Window.
- If a change would affect the appearance of a form or control, the Design Screen will be updated.
- A short description of the property appears in the Help window below the Properties Window.
Project Properties
| BabelConfig | The configuration file for Babel. See https://babeljs.io/docs/en/configuration for more information.. |
| BabelOnDeploy | True/False. Should the Babel utility be run when the app is deployed? This will transform most JavaScript code so it can run on IE11 and Edge. |
| backgroundColor | Sets the default background color for all forms. Can be a color name, #RRGGBB, rgb(R,G,B), or transparent. Also used as the background color for Chrome splash screens. |
| backgroundImage | Sets the default background pattern or image for all forms. Overrides the backgroundColor property. Works best if image is in the project folder. Do not use absolute paths. To stop image from repeating to fill the screen, put background-repeat:no-repeat; into the style property of Project Properties. Gradients like linear-gradient(#55aaee,#003366) can be set at design time or runtime. URLs like url(https://www.nsbasic.com/images/eiffel.gif) can be set at runtime only.
|

| eslintRules | For syntax checking. A JSON configuration object that modifies the default style guide. See the Eslint Developer Guide to modify your rules. |
| enableNiceLinks | On servers where this is enabled, do not show '#' character in URL. If you are deploying to Volt, go into the Dashboard for your app and set Nice Links to true as well. Defaults to false. |
| events | Project wide events which are responded to. |
| EULA | The text of the End User License Agreement that the user has to agree to before the app will run. |
| extrafiles | Files to include with your project. These files should be in your project's folder. If you include the name of a folder, the folder and all of its files will be included. |
| extraheaders | Additional lines to the header. This is a good place to include extra JavaScript libraries. |
| firstform | The name of the initial form to display. If left blank, the first form is used. If the form specified no longer exists, it will be changed to the first form on the next deploy. |

| homescreenTitle | The title to be used for the app when saved to the Home Screen on the device. iOS only. |
| icon/favicon | The icon to be used when the app is saved to the Home Screen, as well as the favicon used in the browser tab. For iOS, it should be 180x180. Works best if the image is in the project folder. Do not use absolute paths. Unix file names must be used: you cannot include spaces or invalid characters such as colon (":") or parentheses ("()"). If ChromeSplash is set to True, make sure the splash folder is set up: otherwise, the icons will not display on Android devices. |

If set to black-translucent, the web content is displayed on the entire screen, partially obscured by the status bar. |
