Skin form — Components tab — General — Panel Set

Beginning with 7.1, panel sets are deprecated. As a best practice, upgrade panel sets to screen layouts.

Screen layouts are available only to user interfaces rendered in HTML 5 document type (standards mode).

Existing panel sets will continue to function, but you cannot create a new panel set in applications rendered in HTML 5 document type (standards mode). You can create new panel sets in Quirks mode.

Styles set here apply to the body of composite portals and panel containers.

You can set the border, padding, and background and specify the images that the user selects to expand or contract panels. You can also customize the border and background colors that contain the images (arrow and drag-handle sprites).

For the Top, Left, Center, Right, and Bottom panels, define the:

  • Border
  • Padding
  • Background

If desired, you can specify the Top , Left , Right , or Bottom border as none, solid, dashed, or dotted, rather than inheriting the style from the selected mixin.
