SAP Note 2930005: Some ABAP applications use the SAP GUI background colors, but not the SAP GUI font colors for content in HTML controls.However, one should keep in mind these SAP Notes when using Quartz Dark: The feedback we have received so far on the Quartz Themes (also from the Beta program that we ran) is much better than the feedback related to Belize. The new ABAP Editor can also use theme specific colors (if a new option is activated).The main menu is back by default (also for Belize themes).A new monospaced font (“72 monospace”) is used which suits the proportional font (“72”) much better (also for Belize themes).
Improved contrast for many aspects of the UI (including also for selected items).New states like a hover on selected state for several UI elements are introduced.All features of Belize themes including theme specific coloring are supported.Fiori features (for SAP S/4HANA systems) are supported just like in Belize.Some of the highlights of the Quartz Themes: We also did not remove any old themes in release 7.70. Of course, we do not override a previous setting – you can continue using SAP GUI with the theme of your choice.
When you install SAP GUI for Windows 7.70, Quartz is the default theme and SAP GUI will choose either the light or the dark version depending on your Windows settings. There are four Quartz Themes (see also image above): For the first time we also offer a dark version of the theme that can be used by users who prefer a dark background. The successor to the Belize theme is the Quartz (Fiori 3.0) theme. During this timeframe patches for both releases will be supplied normally. For the latest information always refer to SAP Note 147519.Īs you can see in the image above, there is an overlap of support durations for releases 7.60 and 7.70 of about 14 months.
The chart below shows the current dates (on 27 th of January 2019) for the lifecycle of SAP GUI for Windows releases 7.50 (already out of support) up to 7.70. Therefore, SAP GUI for Windows 7.70 is supported until 9 th of April 2024. SAP GUI for Windows 7.70 was created with Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 which is in mainstream support by Microsoft until 9 th of April 2024 (see also ). However, in addition to these topics we could also work on a couple of other smaller topics that are explained below.
