Forms Compact Mode

Forms compact mode has an additional mode that reduces the spacing between controls along with the spacing between labels and value fields within a control.

The forms_compact_mode common resource key controls the use of this mode.

[1], [2], [3], [1,2], [1,2,3], [2,3], [1,3], or empty to disable the key

The key applies to all controls and panes on a form to make the form smaller in size. When the value contains 1, the width of the grid panes in the form is set to a maximum of 600 pixels. When the value contains 2, the labels align to the top even if the child labels are configured to be aligned to the left. However, if the pane has only controls in it, the labels are not aligned to the top. When the value contains 3, it reduces the spacing between controls along with the spacing between labels and value fields within a control.

The default value for the run time is [3].

If you want to disable the compact mode, specify an empty value for it in the custom property resource bundle. 

align_toolbar_left
 true, false Unused by default. Aligns the contents of the toolbar pane to the left when set to true.

The toolbar buttons, such as Submit, Close, and Cancel are aligned to the right by default. For large forms that need horizontal scrolling, you can align the buttons to the left using this key.
