What next? Themes and new image file formats for xlsx and xlsb files
The previous version introduced the themes for MS Excel 2007-2010 files. The future version will come with an API that will dynamically allow setting the colors and fonts for cells, conditional formatting and chart elements, accordantly to a specific theme. Furthermore, the cell formatting will be improved with diagonal borders and gradient fill settings and the chart will have full formatting support for fill, border, shadow, 3D and font settings. All those new features, that complete the formatting of an Excel file, come as natural upgrade to MS Excel 2007-2010 new formatting features. All the new features maintain the compatibility for xls file in a similar way that MS Excel does.
Related to images, EasyXLS supported only JPEG format until now. Starting with the next version, the GIF, PNG, WMF, EMF, BMP, TIFF images will be also supported for xlsx and xlsb files.
