Echo2 Extras offers supplementary user interface components for the Echo2 framework.
By installing Echo2 Extras, you'll have access to an array of new and exciting components. Some of these include the AccordionPane, BorderPane, CalendarSelect, ColorSelect, PulldownMenu, and TabPane. The AccordionPane is a tabbed container that displays its contents between vertical separators, with only one child component displayed at a time. It has a sleek and animated effect that slides up and down when the user chooses a separator. The BorderPane is a simple container with a FillImageBorder that surrounds its content. The CalendarSelect, on the other hand, is a date selection component that provides a view of an entire calendar month to aid in selection. The Color Select provides hue-saturation-value-based color selection. The PulldownMenu is a pull-down menu component with the capability to display submenus and toggle/radio items. Finally, the TabPane is a traditional tabbed pane implementation that can lazy-render its children to reduce initial load times.
Since the release of Echo2 Extras, it has undergone several updates, adding many features and functionalities. In the most recent update, opacity-based fades were added to the TransitionPane. Additionally, the Calendar component has been localized for English, German, French, Greek, Italian, Spanish, and 1337. Finally, several IE6 BorderPane rendering problems were fixed, including enabling transparent borders with this browser.
Overall, Echo2 Extras is an excellent add-on for Echo2 Framework enthusiasts who want to build highly functional, interactive, and visually appealing user interfaces.
