The switch control does not currently support long text labels so only text such as ON and OFF are suitable. 

The widget width will not auto expand according to text length so if you want to use text such as Active or Inactive it is restricted.

While an additional <label> element can be used to describe the control we find that having the action wording within the control an efficient way to display it.

The Globalization cultures contain the zero-based UTC date format "u".
However, when parsing or formatting a date using this "u" format, a wrong date comes out.
The local hours are not offset to the zero-based UTC format. End-users will see a wrong local date parsed from a UTC date,  and a wrong UTC date formatted from a local date.

Please add proper UTC support to Kendo UI.

I know there are a number of requests for this, and I'm in agreement with all of them. I wanted to post a couple of specific examples in order to make it clear what would save me (a developer using Kendo for production code) time in implementing widgets within our application.

1. Provide information about all aspects of any given topic. For example, I recently tried to understand how sorting works for Grid. (see  http://www.telerik.com/forums/where-is-the-documentation-on-performing-case-insensitive-sorting-for-grid). It seems like it would take a pretty minimal effort to include information in the docs for grid column-header sorting (http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/grid#configuration-sortable) that describe how to turn off case-insensitive sorting, as well as explain that the grid option does not sort data on initial load (for that you need to sort on the dataSource). It required a fair amount of searching, and a couple of days to come to this understanding, which could have completely been avoided by adding a paragraph or two to the docs examples I just mentioned. For any configuration option, or feature documentation, make it complete and describe it entirely.

2. Utilize hyper-linking more effectively within the docs. A while back, I wanted to understand how to fully utilize the numericTextBox widget, and the docs mentioned 'format' for numerics. Unfortunately, I don't know what 'format' means in the context of Kendo widgets. Eventually, I found this forum post: http://www.telerik.com/forums/where-is-documentation-on-format
As I pointed out in my comment in that post, there's simply no reason to require your users to search for what 'format' means, when with minimal effort on your part, a link can be added and I can simply click to that documentation and get the answer I need.

There's a ton of individual examples that fall into one of those two categories, and if those were fixed, about 60% of the documentation issues I encounter would be resolved. I appreciate the chance to express this, and thanks for your consideration.

I believe a kanban board for managing tasks woudl be a great new control.  I see that you have something like this in TeamPulse already.  In the new control it would be nice to set the number of columns, custom template for an item (but providing a template that resembles sticky pad note would be cool) and allow drag/drop between the columns.  The D&D would need to be customizable so that the programmer could restrict which columns an item can move to & from.  This would be needed in case they did not want to allow the user to move an item to a previous state or may only allow to move forward 1 step.  The reason I put this under bootstrap is because the control should reposition columns below based on screen size.  So it may start as a 4 column board but because of the size of the window it is a 2x2.

Could I suggest a better integration with Phonegap like:

- desktop utility app to package Kendo UI Mobile app into installable packages for iOS, Androind etc..

1. Select all button
2. Remember selected items (now they are gone if we change page / scroll in virtual scrolling mode on)
3. Selected items count displayed on bottom bar (for example put it as neighbor of paging list)
4. Copy content of selected rows in grid (ctrl+c when selected) [data split with semicolons]
5. Export Selected/Filtered data into CVS file

Please add labelText option to the DropDown and ComboBox controls so it would be easier to add labels instead of having to manipulate the data source (especially when using a remote data source) to insert a first option as a label. This is currently an annoyance with the Telerik Controls as well. Thank you.

Something simple like:

$('#Country').kendoDropDownList({...
  dataTextField: "CountryName",
  dataValueField: "CountryCode",
  labelText: "[Select Country]"
});

This would eliminate lots of unnecessary coding or messing with the .js files to implement this ourselves (and having to re-do it each time when upgrading).

I need to display multiple charts on one page. These charts are all based on the same timeserie.
To help with data analysis, I need to align every chart and the easiest way to achive that would be to be able to specify a width for the plot area.

Would you consider adding this feature ?

My Team created a Dashboard Silverlight App built using Silverlight RadControls. So we have lots of chart types with cool features as drill down, gauges.
Now, we are looking forward to move to HTML5 soon... in order to do that we need all this rich widgets ASAP in Kendo UI.

Thanks!

The minimize function does not work when added to a kendoWindow. A North pointing triangle is added to the title bar bu nothing happens when clicked.

Also restricting the Maximize to the parent containier (DIV) as suggested by another user should be implemented soon.

Bubble count on mobile list view like jquery mobile

You have this .k-state-disabled class in kendo.css but it's not used in scripts. That's why I forced to copy all .k-state-disabled class styles to new class like

.k-button:disabled, .k-button:disabled:hover, .k-button:disabled:active {
background-color: #E3E3E3;
border-color: #C5C5C5;
color: #9F9E9E;
opacity: 0.7;
cursor: default;
outline: 0 none;
}

(this is my temporary solution)

Support for multiple pointers in guages

Add TickDistance, AutoRange and Step to the line Chart like the Telerik RadChart.  When querying a web service and charting a dynamic/variable number of values, the current chart results in grid lines too close together and overlapping x-axis values.  This would space the grid lines and labels based on the number of values and available space.  This is from the RadChart documentation:

The TickDistance has to be used together with AutoRange. When AutoRange is set to True, the axis Step value is calculated depending on the data range, the available space and the TicksDistance value. Since TickDistance defines the minimal distance between two ticks, increasing its value will cause the Step value to be increased too.

It would be useful to have border configuration as an option when using kendo.ooxml.Workbook to create an excel file (i.e. sheets.rows.cells.border)

Lightbox is the most way to show pictures, so I want KendoUI include it and expand. It can be show images, gallery, flash, video, audio even dynamic HTML & external pages, and can be play, pause, previous, next, close and so on...
This is the plugin I used: http://shadowbox-js.com

Really nice feature for the planned rich text editor would be to add a config option to show the toolbar only on focus/mouse over and possibly have it floated on top of the content so something similar to this could be achieved:

When hovering over a chart legend item, it would be nice if the underlying series/data item in the chart could be highlighted in a similar way as when the mouse is over the series/data item.

I need to be able to filter grid items similar to how it is done in the ASP.NET AJAX controls where you can setup filtering for each column. I have made the Telerik ASP.NET Ajax Grid control to be 100% client side with virtual paging / filtering using Linq filtering on the client to server ajax calls. The Kendo Grid I think is almost there. I just need to be able to do filtering and then I think I will have the functionality that I have now.

@Html.DevExpress().ComboBox(
    settings => {
        settings.Name = "comboBox4";
        settings.Width = 180;
        settings.SelectedIndex = 0;
        settings.Properties.DropDownWidth = 550;
        settings.Properties.DropDownStyle = DropDownStyle.DropDownList;
        settings.CallbackRouteValues = new { Controller = "Editors", Action = "MultiColumnComboBoxPartial" };
        settings.Properties.CallbackPageSize = 30;
        settings.Properties.IncrementalFilteringMode = IncrementalFilteringMode.StartsWith;
        settings.Properties.TextFormatString = "{0}";
        settings.Properties.ValueField = "CustomerID";
        settings.Properties.ValueType = typeof(string);

        settings.Properties.Columns.Add("ContactName", "ContactName", 130);
        settings.Properties.Columns.Add("CompanyName", "CompanyName", Unit.Percentage(100));
        settings.Properties.Columns.Add("Country", "Country", 60);
        settings.Properties.Columns.Add("Phone", "Phone", 100);
    }
).BindList(ViewData["Customers"]).GetHtml()
