Can Table mode be customized?

I see that we will be using table mode (subforms) a lot.
It would be great if the subforms could be customized by the designer. In particular, if we could change column and row colors, fonts, and font sizes it would make things easier for the user.

Is this possible now, and I'm overlooking it? If not, please consider this for a future version.

Thanks,

Steve

It's not possible now, but is actively in the works for a future version. (Not the next version.  Smiley )

Please also add the option of holding down Control and/or Shift to select multiple records in table view so they can be easily deleted (and cut/copy/pasted)

Thanks. Our users are SLOWLY getting used to sesame.

That's a while different kettle of monkeys, Steve. The cosmetic features,  like color and font, will be available well before we take on major behaviors like the ones you mention here.

Darn. It seems like such a no-brainer to be able to select multiple rows.

Oh well, at least its on the radar. We'll keep our browsers open to the Sesame downloads page until we see it posted. Smiley

Thanks,
Steve

Actually, that's a complicated-weeks-and-weeks-of-work-and-testing-brainer. Selecting multiple rows is relatively easy. Doing the correct thing with the underlying data records graphically represented by that selection takes some work!
