4D for Mobile: Say Hello to Aliases

4D for Mobile: Colorize your apps without a struggle

Automatically translated from English

Our mobile products (4D for iOS and 4D for Android) were both built with simplicity in mind, allowing you to build apps easily, in a few clicks.

With 4D v19 R2, we’re giving you a feature that lets you easily define the main color of your iOS and Android app, by selecting it from a color picker fully integrated into the project editor.

Here’s how:
