ADF 12.2.1.1 New Feature - Masonry Layout Custom Size Dashboard. ADF 12.2.1.1 and 12.2.1.2 respectively comes with improvement for Masonry Layout component. Now we can define custom sizes for tiles - 9.4.1 How to Use a masonryLayout Component. This helps to define larger tiles and organize dashboard layout in more accurate way.

ADF 12.2.1 Responsive Dashboard with Masonry Layout. ADF 12.2.1 is a breakthrough in responsive UI. Never before it was so easy to implement good looking and high performance ADF UI. Masonry layout component allows to develop responsive dashboard made from separate tiles. Tiles can be reordered, resized and even removed. Tiles layout is dynamically constructed based on available screen size.

PanelGridLayout (JDev 11.1.2.3.0 ) to Simplify Oracle Forms Modernization to ADF. I'm usually bored to death to work with UI layout or CSS. But not today, when we have new af:panelGridLayout ADF Faces component available with JDev 11.1.2.3.0 (it was already available with 11.1.2.2.0). Read more about it from Duncan Mills blog - PanelGridLayout - A Layout Revolution. This will change how we build layout in ADF, but also it will change how we build form blocks layout. I believe it will substitute af:panelFormLayout component, in more complex use cases. This is especially true for Oracle Forms modernization - usually Forms screens are pretty complex and stuffed with af:inputText boxes. Up till now it was hard to adapt af:panelFormLayout to create proper grid UI - this will change with af:panelGridLayout component.
