Hi Fabian,

RAP provides infrastructure that allows switching themes at runtime.
It's not yet API though, as theme-switching caused problems with earlier
qooxdoo versions. However some people asked for it on the RAP newsgroup
and I think there are some people actually do switch themes at runtime.
If qooxdoo drops this functionality, RAP will lose it too. Although we
are always interested in performance improvements, we wouldn't like to
sacrifice this feature.

Just for curiosity, could you roughly explain what this connection
between the widgets and associated theme entries is needed for? If the
widgets use it to listen for theme changes, wouldn't it also be possible
to re-layout everything in case of a theme change, thus making theme
switching a more costly operation in favor of overall performance?

I also wonder what the consequences of the theming restructuring would
be. How would the concept of themes change when there is always only one
theme? Would there be still a need for any theme managers?

Switching locales is not an issue for us.

Best regards, Ralf
