Lines on the left side in list view

[sfpx]

Is there a way to remove those black and white lines in list view ? Or at least to change their colors ?

 

Note that I don't really want to display my data in list view, I'm forced to do so because the header does not stay on top in form view (which is pretty annoying if your header serves as a navigation bar). If someone has a way to have a header that is always visible no matter how far the user has scrolled that would be great.

 

Thanks

You can use a portal to display the same data as list view with no lines.

Yes but sfpx would still have the issue of the header scrolling off the screen

How's that? If the portal is proportional to the screen the portal would scroll but the layout would be static, or am I being ignorant to the actual issue?

There is no way to get rid of the black record indicator on the left in list view. As for keeping the header on top in form view, personally I design my layout where the users do not have to scroll. Also, I believe that there are some tools out there that allow a floating toolbar.

But the issue is that his screen is bigger than the space allows for him in form view. Perhaps he can use one big portal row like you are suggesting but it would be convoluted where a certain set of fields would have to be displayed in record 1 and then certain others in record 2 etc within the portal...

 

The portal can only display the field you place on there in layout mode. If I understand the OP, it is the amount of display area that is the issue.

Thanks for the replies.

I guess I'll have to live with those lines (not that big of a deal anyway).

 

P.S.

I thought about the portal idea but my layouts already have portals in them so putting the layout inside of a portal would create nested portals and it does not work in Filemaker as far as I know.

 

Also the floating toolbars solutions don't work on Filemaker Go (I forgot to mention that the database will mostly be used on iphones and iPads)
