I noted that animations in a project I originally built under XOJO 2014 R2.1 are different under newer releases of XOJO. I built a control with a “flip” over animation n the vertical axis. In code You could control the “direction” of the flip by using a positive or negative increment. The flipping control had a very 3D look to it. When I rebuilt this app with the newer version of XOJO…the control still flips…but gone is the 3D flipping appearance. When flipping a control 180 degrees you cannot distinguish between flipping left or right anymore. This change might actually be useful under certain circumstances…but I wondered what happened to the 3D look. Is there a way to enable that? Did I accidentally disable it when setting up the newer IDE?
