Right.... I suppose that is the best solution for now. UIBinder is
GWT2.0 only, correct? I havn't made the change yet, I am still using 1.7.
Last night I did some design work using normal design tools
(Fireworks,Photoshop etc), and as long as you are good about labeling the
items so the CSS exports correctly (with readable/usable names). It is
possible to get fairly GWT-friendly CSS. Then I just have to create my
basic controls in GWT and give them the same label names for styles and
everything seems to work. One thing that helped alot was following this
trick:

That gives you div-only based horizontal/vertical flow panels. It always
confused me as to why I kept losing styles when I would implement
HorizontalPanels or VerticalPanels. I guess that is just one of those
situations where you need some old-school CSS/HTML knowledge. Cause while
GWT lowers the bar so application-centric developers (like myself) can get
involved, it doesn't COMPLETELY hide us from needing that basic CSS
information. Sometimes I forget that! :)
Anyway, thanks for the help. I look forward to digging into UIBinder when
2.0 is released.
