gwt is by and for developers. However gwt is open source and if desired, graphics artists with little development knowledge(or with help from developers) can contribute themes on line of standard/chrome/ dark which are already included. Sorry but the looks of gwt's decorator based panels are not the best in the world... they can get better, much better. (actually what hurts is that the constructor to create custom decorator panels is package scope, hence difficult to extend them for look and feel change!).
There is no harm in having professional looking themes; they should be included in seperated user contribution download section. If I am not wrong gwt introduced standard/chrome/dark in 1.5; after that I expected many more css's would be contributed by artists who work in gwt related projets. but none came :( On Jan 29, 2:07 pm, "Parvez Shah" <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes you are right, we got css to make the app look amazing, but I am sure > some of us have got hooked to GWT as we are not good in web technology, not > that we should use this reason to sulk and wait for GWT team to really make > amazing looking skin out of the box > > From: mariyan nenchev > Sent: Saturday, January 30, 2010 1:05 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Feature Request - Improve Visual Look > > There is no need gwt widgets to be "beautiful".
