Hi, I feel Google/GWT should not just an other fancy theme/skin, it should support an abstract theming. To offer just a concrete theme means your own widgets needs work additional work to adapt to each concrete theme. To offer an abstract theming facilities means easily to share concrete themes. I did a proposal how this can achieved with http://code.google.com/p/a1decor
By the way. I do not consider the sample to be a real good gui. http://gwt-bikeshed.appspot.com/Scaffold.html The graphical design looks nice, that is not the point. This gui has two major issues. a) paging (arrows). Paging is a pure implementation topic which should not be visible to the user. One scrollbar should be sufficient. This paging approach is common but not good. b) modal creation of objects The gui should avoid to be modal. Consider a more complex object and than battery low?! Bad luck. Work lost. The best would be an inline and immediate creation with undo/redo support. However, this is not so easy to achieve. However, I agree, the sample is better as the general experience on the web.
