Hi Chris,
why not just name it as it is: Color-Theme, Appearance-Theme, Font-
Theme etc. These are the names we use in the core team. Don't think
there is a explicit need for the top name for these.
Just one additional note: There were early plans to move the whole
meta theme thingy to the config.json of the application. We are not
yet done with the final idea though. This would mean that the separate
themes are selected through the config.json. The idea behind is that
this would improve the usability when one one part of a current meta
theme should be changed. Feedback or ideas on how theme usability -
especially the selection - could be improved are highly appreciated.
Cheers,
Sebastian

Hi Alex,
As I'm reading through the new Theme docs, I've started to wonder if
you (the qx dev team) might be able to come up with a way of
labeling different parts of Themes?
To try and make my thought clear, here is a sentence from the new
docs:
The appearance theme is the theme where all other themes (except the
meta theme) are used.
As you can see this just might be a wee bit confusing to someone
trying to come to grips with how Themes are built. If I understand
it correctly, there are 3 layers to a final Theme:
Theme -> This is the name given to the Theme used when coding,
such as "Modern"
Meta-Theme -> pulls all the various Theme *parts* together into
a single sort of package.
Theme-*Part* -> Appearance, Color, Decoration, Font, Icon
I'm wondering if you couldn't come up with an approved name for what
I'm calling a *Theme-Part* here? Would this help make this clearer??
It's possible that I'm just not connecting entirely, but it seems
labeling things into 3 bits would help clarify things quite a lot.
Anyways -- the ui_theming page is a huge help!
I'm very happy that you all are making working on the 0.8 docs such
a priority, as the entire project would be greatly diminished
without them, which would be a massive shame.
Cheers,
-Chris
we are currently working hard to improve the documentation section of
the qooxdoo wiki. As a next step forward I proudly present: the UI
theming article :)
Check it out at http://qooxdoo.org/documentation/0.8/ui_theming
Any tipps, hints and corrections are always welcome.
nice weekend to all of you,
Alex
