Hi Tom, the problem you described is a bug in qooxdoo. I opened a bug-report for this problem. Just take a look at http://bugzilla.qooxdoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=369
Fortunately, there is a workaround for this problem (also described at the bug report). Just move your values from the "initial" to the "states" section of the appearance. Then the values get applied correctly. cheers, Alex On Wednesday 11 April 2007 Tom Hunter wrote: > Hi Alex, > > Thanks for your email. The output from the qx_log window is below.
