Folks, The Controls And Dashboards API<http://code.google.com/apis/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/controls.html> is the part of the Google Charts API<http://code.google.com/apis/chart/index.html> that lets you assemble multiple charts into dashboards and enrich them with interactive controls to manipulate the data they display. It defines a set of widgets (category pickers, range sliders, autocompleters...) you interact with in order to drive the data managed by a dashboard and the charts that are part of it.
A while back a couple of questions came up in the forums about skinning and styling the Controls widgets. To address this, I've set up an example project at https://github.com/battlehorse/google-charts-controls-gallery that shows how to create custom themes for the Controls widgets. I have also included two sample themes as examples (one<http://battlehorse.github.com/google-charts-controls-gallery/#google-visualization-controls-theme-plus>inspired by the latest redesign of Google properties, the other<http://battlehorse.github.com/google-charts-controls-gallery/#google-visualization-controls-theme-contrast>showing an high-contrast setup for accessible access). The styles are easily inspectable, so it should be fairly easy for anyone to extend / modify them. You can find demos and docs at http://battlehorse.github.com/google-charts-controls-gallery/. I have hacked it together quickly, so it's still a bit rough (and I haven't really tested it across a wide set of browsers).
