Normally the description of a method should show you the type of parameters you have to pass. The incomplete documentation is a known issue and we are aiming a much more complete documentation for the upcoming 0.8 release.

In your case you have to pass a string for the style parameter and a defined color (all colors are defined in your color theme -> qx.theme.classic.Color for example) or a known color like "lime" or "red". To get to know more details of a method you can click at the plus icon of each method at the the API-Viewer application ( http://api.qooxdoo.org ). In your case "setLeft" the documentation shows up that the values of the parameters are used to set the properties. The properties are linked so this way you can obtain deeper infos about the parameter values.
