Thanks for your reply. I have done pretty much exactly as you suggested here. I replaced the existing meta theme by copying it to a new file name, and editing the name and the color theme that it references. I then created a new theme that extended one of the existing color themes. My problem is trying to figure out how and where to introduce the new file that has my new color theme. I added it to the custom.js file that the make produces, but I get this error when I run it:
Invalid key "extend" in class "com.cvmkt.themes.QuickstoreColor"! The value is undefined/null! I've just copied and pasted one of the color theme examples from the documentation on theme support, so I think the theme file is correct. The only change I've made from the example is the name of the theme itself. Obviously this file has to be introduced at the right time. It references other classes that need to have been loaded first, so I can't just add a <script ...> element in the html page. The only logical place I can see to include it is in the big list of <script ..> elements that get written out via the custom.js file which gets produced from the make step. Sorry for being so dense.

The value > is undefined/null! The best way to change the existing themes is to extend an existing meta theme and change the themes you wish in your meta theme file. If you only want to change the color theme this would be sufficient: --snip-- qx.Theme.define("YOUR_NAMESPACE.theme.YOUR_META_THEME", { title : "YOUR META THEME", extend : qx.theme.ClassicRoyale, // this is only used for example meta : { color : YOUR_NAMESPACE.theme.YOUR_META_THEME.YOUR_COLORTHEME } }); --snip-- Just take a look at the folder layout of the Ext theme. qx.theme.Ext -> Meta theme qx.theme.ext.Color -> Color theme qx.theme.ext.Appearance -> Appearance theme ... To use the created meta theme you can use the "APPEARANCE_THEME" makefile variable. Just insert this variable into your makefile (located at the root of your application). e.g. APPLICATION_THEME=qx.theme.Ext would use the Ext meta theme as default theme (after executing a "make").
