Thank you Victor! This is the biggest help to make this transition with the least pain.

Thank you!

    Hello Nekhelesh,

    You are right, apps using Ubuntu.Components 1.2 should not be
    affected. What you are seeing is a bug that caused even apps using
    1.2 to get the 1.3 palette. The fix for that is here:
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/+bug/1549830
    and we already have it in our staging. We need to include it in
    the landing as well.

    Tim.

        Hi Zoltan,

        It turns out that all apps still using Ubuntu.Components 1.2
        are badly affected by this change. Is it possible to retain
        the original palette colors for apps using UC 1.2? Few default
        apps like Tasks-app are also affected as a result. Granted we
        do have a month before OTA-10 is out, but at the moment there
        only about 40-50 apps using UITK 1.3 [1]. I doubt all apps
        will be ready by then.

            Hi,

            the next release of the UITK will bring new palettes and
            new colour
            definitions.

            That is the good part of the news.

            The issue is that many applications and even the shell
            indicators do use
the actual palettes in a sightly wrong way. It means that in many
            places the  palette is  used like this

            ----------
            Icon {
               id: statusIcon
               color: theme.palette.selected.backgroundText
               Layout.preferredHeight: parent.height
               Layout.preferredWidth: Layout.preferredHeight
               visible: name !== ""
            }
            ----------

            Which is fine as long the desired colour matches with the
            colour the
            palette provides. The problem starts when design changes
            and the nicely
            selected "colour" for a component turns to be something else.

            Like the indicator icons ->
            http://picpaste.com/pics/indicator-FMruC8JY.1456498678.png

            So, what to do?

            If your app is using palette colours for something else
            what their name
            suggest to be used for, then please add the silo50 to your
            device and
            see how your app looks.

            Feel free to reach out for help. Anybody from the SDK or
            Design team is
            going to be available to  help.

            In the following days we will write up a blog post about
            the new colours
            and paletts, so stay tuned :)

            cheers,

            bzoltan
