Components and presentation templates

[Vircos]

It look likes Ebase won't alllow to apply custom presentation templates on components and will only use the default one. Is this correct?

In V4.0, you can specify the default presentation template used during component design with parameter Ufs.defaultComponentPresentationTemplate.

But it's difficult to style a component and retain this styling when a component is inserted/deployed: if you use style sheet class names, you have to ensure that the same classes are also available in deployed forms; though inline style properties work fine.

In V4.1, styling can be done with local properties and these are inserted/deployed with a component. This makes it much easier to design and style a component and for the styling to be retained once it's inserted/deployed.
