How to resolve issues with custom themes after upgrading

Description:
I have created a custom theme before the release of the 12.2 DXperience suite. After the project upgrade, there were issues with the different height of controls.

Answer:
When migrating to a new DXperience version, it is necessary to upgrade a custom theme:

  1. Upgrade a custom theme directory (especially skin files) via the Project Converter tool;
  2. Rebuild the custom theme assembly;
  3. Update a reference to the custom theme assembly.
    Note that starting with version 12.2, we have changed the rendering mechanism of some editors. As a result, some manual corrections are required.
    To resolve the issues, it is necessary to delete the following selectors and their CSS rules from the styles.css file in the App_Themes/Theme/editors directory folder:
CSS
dxeTextBox_Theme td.dxic { ... } dxeMemo_Theme td { ... } .dxeButtonEdit_Theme .dxeEditArea_Theme, .dxeButtonEdit_Theme td.dxic { ... } dxeButtonEdit_Theme td.dxic { ... }

Where Theme is the name of the applied theme.
