This developer article describes Codename One changes inspired by an MSUIKit template, including simpler side-menu handling, per-form iOS status-bar control, and methods for giving multiple components the same dimensions.

## Source excerpt

There was much left unsaid about the template UI that I did earlier in the week. It was doable & reasonably easy but I still had some pitfalls. I was able to circumvent them easily but I'm not so sure these would have been easy for other developers out there. As a result we decided to simplify some use cases in Codename One as a result. I chose to separate these to a different post as most of the subjects here will be resolved in the next update, but the template post would probably still be useful when this post becomes history...
