In this YouTube video it shows a style editor which looks very cool. But it doesn't seem to be in ver 10?

Has it been deprecated for some reason?
Thanks

Just to pile on, attached are two images - one from the web help and the other from the trial PHPRunner.






So what am I missing?

This is still in Version 9.8 - the thing is that Xline are moving to the Bootstrap framework and because it is responsive has a completely different mechanism for web page design. You essentially define proportions based on divisions of 12 and the browser arranges the fields subsequently. Bootstrap is an industry wide standard so there are very sound reasons for going with it. Sergey is working on improving the flexibility of form design in 10. if you have paid subscription you can probably get a copy of 9.8

Yes, Style Editor was deprecated, mostly because it was only compatible with pre-Bootstrap templates. Version 10 only works with Bootstrap templates.
Also check this - you can use third party Bootstrap theme customizer:

Thanks for the response(s) and the tip. It would be great if a new Bootstrap friendly editor was re-introduced into Runner. When you're using RAD, ideally you want to stay within RAD.

Hi not trying to be cheeky but there is an editor in there but you have to have a slightly different mindset from the kind of design you are thinking of.
