    262262Legacy 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.

     264The style of the buttons is also changed from FORM_BUTTON_INVERT to FORM_BUTTON_SHADOW for the new 825gen2 button appearance.

    264266Some apps, especially older ones may use lib825 instead of the newer lib825ev. In addition to CForm (FORM_INIT) a different method of creating forms exists in the older lib825 called !DynamicForm. These apps may also use a C++ class called the Application class. To update apps using lib825 to new style graphics it would be best to convert the app to a lib825ev (event style) app first. Depending on the size of the app this could be a much more involved process.
