Ui browser alternative
Some web-based SAP UI frameworks intend to stop support for Internet Explorer.Many users have moved to other browsers and want to use them also when working with SAP GUI.So far the SAP GUI HTML Control always uses the Microsoft Internet Explorer Control for hosting HTML content inside SAP GUI, but nowadays Internet Explorer has several disadvantages: Edge (WebView2 Control) as alternative browser control.It proved very difficult to overwrite all these elements and until today some very minor issues are remaining which are listed in this SAP Note. Some of these elements do not allow changing their background color – they simply expect that the background is bright (except when High Contrast themes are used in Windows).
UI BROWSER ALTERNATIVE WINDOWS
SAP Note 2981918: SAP GUI for Windows is re-using several UI elements provided by Windows.To solve this, corrections in the respective application are needed. In such cases, the application will display dark text on dark background. SAP Note 2930005: Some ABAP applications use the SAP GUI background colors, but not the SAP GUI font colors for content in HTML controls.However, one should keep in mind these SAP Notes when using Quartz Dark: The feedback we have received so far on the Quartz Themes (also from the Beta program that we ran) is much better than the feedback related to Belize. The new ABAP Editor can also use theme specific colors (if a new option is activated).The main menu is back by default (also for Belize themes).A new monospaced font (“72 monospace”) is used which suits the proportional font (“72”) much better (also for Belize themes).Improved contrast for many aspects of the UI (including also for selected items).New states like a hover on selected state for several UI elements are introduced.All features of Belize themes including theme specific coloring are supported.

Fiori features (for SAP S/4HANA systems) are supported just like in Belize.Some of the highlights of the Quartz Themes: We also did not remove any old themes in release 7.70. Of course, we do not override a previous setting – you can continue using SAP GUI with the theme of your choice.
