Awesome as always, kudos Vlad/Awaresoft. After having watched the what's new video I have to say, IMO this is the best version update in years 😃.

BLOMASKY

This IS the best release EVER (Until the next one that is...)
I found that a lot of my custom CSS that I used for positioning / visibility had to be "fixed" to work with V9. So many great new features. The improvement to google maps was necessary for one of my customers. The ability to control what type of filters an app uses is a huge improvement to the UI. I like the options the button group widget offers.

BTW, since the themes are new, You might find the theme in RegularUser is blank or wrong for some users.

1) Is it these: https://lineicons.com/icons/

be sure to click the slider to “free” instead of “all”

2) any way to use these inside the report writer?
