CodenameOne GUI Builder Button Image Problem

The CodenameOne GUI Builder seems to have a mind of its own..
I created a simple form with a button that has a green image when it is enabled and red when disabled. In my code I use another button to call an event function that enables and disables the button.
This seems pretty simple, yet it doesn't work reliably. The button's image changes between green and transparent as it toggles. Other times it works correctly. After I make a change I always do a 'save' and a 'regen' in the GUI Builder and then 'Clean and Build' in NetBeans.
Also, the size of my image is much smaller in the simulator than in the GUI Builder.
GUI Builder is sooo frustrating; I wish I could just code the for using html and css :(
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Please see my video capture (https://siscocircuits.com/cno_gui_builder_problem.wmv) which shows the problem in action.
You can write code in Java to represent the GUI. In fact that's what the GUI builder does under the surface and that's what most of our demos do. We also support a form of CSS.
The problem with the image sizes is probably due to the fact that you used regular images instead of multi-images to adapt to the various DPIs. I suggest reviewing the generated code to see what went wrong it's a bit difficult to see in the video but you can put a breakpoint in the debugger and step over the generated code.

How to configure Combobox from Gui Builder?

I can not make combobox from gui builder.
I drag and drop a combobox into place from Components Pallete/Core Combonets.
I am setting two values as is shown in the screen shot bellow:
I am saving the From in the gui builder and then I hit the run on netbeans. On simulator the combobix is shown empty as you can see on the next screenshot:
am I dong something wrong?
This seems to be a bug in the GUI builder. We generally recommend avoiding combo boxes so people don't test this much. Please file an issue here. As a workaround just use setModel within the constructor and define the elements that go in.

Textbox and Combo box not showing background color from theme

I have a project in the play store created with version 3.2 at end of October. Today I rebuilt the project to add new features. When I deployed it to Android I noticed the following 4 issues.
1. The push notification icon is a solid white square. It was my icon in the past.
2. The initial screen form is incorrect as it goes into the android soft buttons at the bottom of the page.
3. The theme for my combo box is not showing. Just see thru to background.
4. The text field background is also just using the background instead of the white.
I tried building in latest, 3.2 and 3.1 with no differences. I reverted all code to the release in October with no help.
I submitted the IOS build and everything is fine.
The simulator shows everything is fine.
I tried many times to figure out why this is happening and have not been able to.
I need 10 reputation points to post more than 2 links so, I'm only showing 2 screen shots. Let me know if you want the others.
Please see the following:
This image shows the edit and dropdown issue
This is the current play store version of the edit and dropdown
Any ideas on how can I fix these issues? For the text field I use my own style (it does get the boarder but not the background). The notification icon, I don't see how anything I can do would affect this.
Thank you
Sam
-- Edited --
I did manage to get these working again.
I was setting the background color using the theme background tab and setting a gradient with upper and lower the same color. I changed this to NONE, then in the color tab set the background color.
Notification needed a new icon as specified by Chen. In my case the app icon is basically a square and doesn't transfer well to a notification icon.
The last was the nexus 9 initial screen painting into the bottom navigation control. This is still happening and is easily reproduced by making a new hello world codename one app with no changes.
Are you using the android.asyncPaint=false build hint?
I understand some issues occurred with it although I doubt you would see them if you are using the versioned build.
Setting the background color using the theme background tab and setting a gradient with upper and lower the same color didn't work.
Change this to NONE, then in the color tab set the background color.

drupal rotating banner duplicating text

I am editing a drupal site. Problem is, once I insert an image in the slider inside the rotating banner and type the banner text, the banner text duplicates itself like 7 times. What could be the problem? The configuration theme is 7. Any help will be appreciated.
Is the banner created using the "views" drupal module by any chance?
Sometimes the groupings on them get messed up. It might be that, or it could be a templating issue. It's difficult to tell without either seeing an example, or seeing some code.
In all honesty, it could be a number of things. Are you able to provide further information?

How do I create an expaning panel in Silverlight 4?

I'm a rank newbie at animations and so on in Siverlight, and have a need to create an expandable panel, which can be used as a help facility. The idea is that the screen would have a small button at the top-right, and when clicked, this would animate the width of a panel containing help info from zero to some width. Clicking the button again would shrink the help panel back to zero width.
This sounds like it ought to be really easy, and in WPF it is, but as Silverlight doesn't seem to support a lot of the functionality of WPF, I'm struggling badly here.
I looked at the expander control from the toolkit, but as far as I can see, this doesn't do what I want, as the control always takes up the same screen area. I want the expandable panel to disappear when it's not in use.
Anyone able to provide a simple example of how this could be done? Note that I'm using SL4, not SL5.
Thanks very much in advance.
If you've got access to Expression Blend, this can (almost) all be done in XAML.
This is a good place to get started
Found another SO question where someone posted XAML to do something almost identical...
Silverlight Project - Slide-in and out Panel - How?
Hope this helps someone else :)
