    256256Legacy code forms normally used fixed X,Y positions. It is often simpler and easier to maintain to just advance the positions. There are cases such as two column menus where at some point between FORM_ADD_BUTTON2 lines the rect position is reset to start the second column.

     258Some especially older apps may use other styles of forms such as DynamicForm which is a C++ style of form defined in the older lib825 instead of lib825ev. Older apps may also use FormLCD which defines forms based on structs. Updating these apps will require more effort to convert them to use the newer FORM_INIT ... approach.
