Actually, I just got what I'm looking for. The only styles I need to override are backgroundColor and backgroundAlpha, which are both used in Container's createBorder() method. I know I'm never going to want a border/background created by Container for my component so I'm just overriding createBorder() and not calling super.createBorder() on it.
I think that'll do! I'd be interested in hearing if there's a better alternative though. Thanks! --- In [email protected], "aaronius9er9er" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Good point.
