Yes, headerStyleName is meant for the text of the header, not the colors. I will ask about the bottom border color.

Hi Matt, Thanks for responding. headerColors just lets you specify the 2 colors to use for the gradient- I am trying to set the border on the bottom of that gradient. I would think that would be something you could set in the style specified by headerStyleName but as I mentioned in my initial post, only text related properties seem to have any effect in that style. The docs say that headerStyleName defaults to dataGridStyles, which I can't seem to find at the moment. I found it the other day and am pretty sure it didn't really offer any clues. I think it only set one property if memory serves. I really hope you or someone else can shed some light on this because it really shouldn't be this hard to do this. I'm guessing you've got the hookup when it comes to access to people who might know the answer :) Thanks, Ben --- In [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Matt Chotin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > And if headerColors is the wrong thing just read through the datagrid > skins source and see what it's doing :-) > > > > ________________________________ > > From: [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto:[email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> ] On > Behalf Of ben.clinkinbeard > Sent: Thursday, November 16, 2006 1:19 PM > To: [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> > Subject: [flexcoders] Re: How can I change the color of DataGrid > header's bottom border? > > > > Is this not possible? > > --- In [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> > , "ben.clinkinbeard" > <ben.clinkinbeard@> wrote: > > > > Good god skinning is harder than it should be.
