In my previous post, I told you about the contact I had with the OpenUIThemes� staff and said that a test was scheduled. Well, yesterday, I could get my hands on their themes. My review below, I had access to their Gmail Theme and  every major topic I tested is listed here:   Design o   Being a daily user of Gmail as well as a global Google fan, I could feel the impression to work on my desktop using their test machine. o   The UI is easy to navigate and the visuals are ok. o   Some menus have changed position (like sitemap and so on) but as a user you don�t want to use this menu every day. In fact thinking again about it, I think that it adds something to user navigation as UI is focused on what will be immediately useful for the Siebel user.   Performance o   Performance was fine on this theme, the theme did not contain heavy images but I was on a low-bandwidth connection so for me it�s OK. I don�t know how it would behave with more and heavier visuals (high-definition logo of a comp

Some days ago I received an email from a Company representative who wanted to introduce me to their concept around Siebel Open UI. Why not? I replied �Ok� and so I joined a video conference with the guy the next day. Much to my surprise, they had decided to create packaged themes with various look & feel for Siebel Open UI to help other companies customize their Siebel CRM Open UI application. The idea is very promising I think, as every company has corporate colors and branding that makes its visual identity. I�ve seen in the past that it�s much easier to implement a new tool, make an upgrade to an existing tool and finally gain user adoption when the users feel that the software was made specifically for their company (visual identity, colors, display, etc� is part of it). It also seems to go along with Oracle�s strategy with the Open UI (apart from the compatibility benefits).

Recently while working on multilingual application we faced strange issue. While setting values in MVG applet with calendar control, any date value was getting appended with UIF_ string. As a result invalid format error was coming. Eagle-eye pursuit resulted in the fact that even on the calendar control the month was like "UIF_May". To our surprise this issue was not happening on all machines. It was occurring only in some of the user machines with specific configuration. On discussion with Oracle it is found to be product defect.                                                             With configuration of Windows 7 and IE 8, it happens in ARA/ENU/FRA implementations. In order to resolve the issue IE 8 must be updated to latest patches from Microsoft or as an alternate solution could be: 1. In the Internet Explorer browser, go to Tools > Compatibility view setting > Uncheck all the options. 2. Press F12 and set the Browser Mode value to IE8. This will resolve the i
