Highlight List View Rows
-----------------------
You'd think highlighting the current record row within a FileMaker list view would be a simple thing. Turns out, there have been a number of attempts at making this easy - it just hasn't been the case. The older method found in Highlight Record Row in list view used a script-trigging plug-in and there was another method that used a hyper-extended web viewer to force row background color.

With FileMaker 10, the easiest way, to-date, is here. In the associated file, it's just a straight simple Script Trigger. All you really need to do is set a global variable and this can be done with a layout script tied to OnRecordLoad.

However, I take an extra bit of effort to use conditional formatting to make the effect happen. My reasoning is described in the file.

If you haven't added this feature into your own solutions then you need to watch this video. It's just way to simple to add this feature in!

#2. FILEMAKER WORLD - A GREAT PLACE TO BE
-------------------------------------------------------

In the 1990's, we used FileMaker World as a place to promote our own offerings. Like so many other sites, we sort of let it die on the vine because it was a lot to maintain - plus, the content systems back then just weren't as powerful.

Recently, we revised the site (due to a server move) and decided to provide community access to the site. You can now promote your own offerings on the site and make sure you own information stays up-to-date. Simply head on over to FileMaker World and create an account. From there you can submit content to be included.

#3. ADD GRADIENTS EASILY USING GRADIENT MAKER
-------------------------------------------------------

Are your layouts looking a bit awkward?

Light and shadows contribute to how we see the world.
Should your layouts be any different?

One of the best ways to enhance the look of your layouts is through the use of gradients.

The problem is creating them. I personally used to use another piece of software (Photoshop). Now I rarely even open it when creating my FileMaker layouts! I can create highly optimized gradients right within FileMaker. A quick drag-n-drop and I'm making better-looking layouts.

Download a copy right now and take a look!
