<br/>
It is highly recommended to start new UI customizings based on the default resources in {{UBIK}} 4. [[Developer_Mode#Features|Here]] is how you can get them from the app. Some major changes are listed below, please see every item for detailed information and whether your existing customizings will still work.
== Obsolete resources ==
* PropertyItemToValueConverter is removed since it was not used at all. (This should not be used in any XAML customizings, If it is, please consider using alternatives or contact us.)
* StringToDateTimeTypesConverter was added. It should be used when Binding to a Date/Time property on a PropertyViewModel.
=== App bars ===
* UBIKBottomRight.
This means such existing child templates in your project setups will not have any effect in {{UBIK}} 4, unless you still have the two parent/container templates customized where they are explicitly referenced.
== XAML changes ==
* UBIKEditString was renamed from UBIKEdit.
* UBIKEditDateTime now needs the StringToDateTimeTypesConverter when Binding to a value on a PropertyViewModel.
Then for UBIKEditDialogButtons, UBIKEditDialogHeader, UBIKEditDialogNACheck.
