Page "Look-and-Feel"

Just as important to the simplicity of the Cúram client development approach is what you do not specify in application and page meta-data. There is very little positioning information for user interface elements:

• the application banner, sections and tabs are in fixed positions;
• clusters and lists flow from top to bottom on a page;
• fields are automatically positioned within them.

Some control is allowed through attributes of the various elements, but sensible defaults are provided for all these attributes to minimize the situations where they have to be used. Refer to User Interface Element 19 of Applications to see how action controls are aligned to the center of a cluster. This was achieved with the ALIGNMENT attribute of the ACTION_SET element in Page Content Meta-data.
