Codename one Blue theme checkboxes in BoxLayout - checkbox

I am using the CodenameOne blue theme ('shipped with' CodenameOne). I added checkboxes to a BoxLayout.Y container. When selecting one of the checkboxes, the checkbox is getting smaller and wider. I looked in the theme but I can't find out why.
Tested on Android 4.4
I added two images to show what happens. In the first, METAR was checked (and unchecked I guess), in the second, TAF was checked.
After checking another one, the size of the checkbox selected before is normal again.

There are 4 different state selected,unselected , pressed and disabled . And all styles of checkbox can be viewed in theme and as the screenshot there is blank in pressed and disabled style so generate the styles from theme.

Automating CKEditor Combo Boxes using Selenium Webdriver

Following is the CkEditor I am trying to automate on my website:
CKEditor
I have automated clicking through the Bold, Italics, Subscript and Superscript buttons. However, the dropdown menu for Font color or Text style show up blank on the DOM as follows:
DOM for CKEditor
As you can notice, the span underneath the combo box element is empty. Thus any of the text color options available in the combo box do not show up on the DOM. How to automate clicking through various different text colors?
The issue is that at least this dropdown is inside an iframe. You have to switch context into that iframe before you can select something in the dropdown. The code below is working for me.
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("a[title='Formatting Styles']")).click();
driver.switchTo().frame("cke_72_frame");
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("a[title='Borderless Table']")).click();

Trouble changing background color of TextField in Codename One

I just started building my first App with Codename One and I'm having quite some trouble. :-)
I cant change the background color of a TextField, I changed everything in the Theme and named it "TextField". At the Color tab I changed the background color and set Transparency to 255. Since the Component is named TextField, shouldnt the style be applied automatically when I make a new TextField?
I also tried to set the UIID manually to "TextField", which didn't help either.
Am I missing something?
Kind regards,
Max
The way backgrounds work in Codename One is this:
Border is applied first
Then image
Then gradient
Then color
TextField and other components such as Button etc. often have a default border derived from the theme.
Switch to the Border tab, click derive then click the ... button and select empty.

How to resize material-ui's tabs

I am trying to get a result looking like this (picture taken from https://material.google.com/components/tabs.html#tabs-usage):
I don't want the tabs to take 100% of the width of the page, as it is by default with material-ui. Is it possible to do this with the implementation of material-ui ? I already played with the width of each tab using the style tab property, but the inkbare seems hardcoded to use percentages according to the id of the selected tab, and therefore doesn't underline properly the resized tabs. Is there a workaround?
There is an issue related to this problem https://github.com/callemall/material-ui/issues/1203
But yes, there is an easy workaround. (unfortunately it doesnt support diffrent widths across the tabs).
You can use the Tabs tabItemContainerStyle property to set the width of the tabs container (make it the width you want to each tab times the number of tabs).
Since the background color is setted on that element, you're gonna need to override the styles for two others Tabs properties (style and contentContainerStyle).
In this example Im setting the same color as my tabs in the style property (for the whole component) and setting the contentContainerStyle back to a white background.
You could use the classes properties as well..
Ex: (Imagine you have a blue toolbar)
<Tabs
tabItemContainerStyle={{width: '400px'}}
style={{background: 'blue'}}
contentContainerStyle={{background: '#FFF'}} >

Codename One - Layout issue

I've a GUI built app and I set many Icon images in the code for some components.
The thing is I've made sure all "padding" and "margin" values are the same for the different states of the components (unselected, pressed, etc) but when I try to input data into the TextFields, it seems like the dimensions of some components change without notice and they completely mess with my layout.
Even sometimes some of the icons partially disappear. Please see the following screenshot of before and after text input, where the Container and TextFields shrink
I really don't know what else I can do. I have tried many things, but stil the same outcome. Please help.
You need to make the container housing all this components scrollable.
Use Millimeters for your TextField padding and margin, don't use Screen Percentage. From the image in the images you posted, 2mm top and bottom and 1mm left and right would be suitable.
If the components having those icons are pressable like a button, be sure to set their pressedIcon to the same icon.
Lastly, style your TextField Unselected state and copy this to Selected and Pressed states, to avoid erroneous styling.
