You're right. This sentence really didn't help to clear things up. I've changed that bit of the documentation to better work out the different themes ( http://qooxdoo.org/documentation/0.8/ui_theming#appearances ). Additionally, I re-read the whole page and changed some bits to better differ the themes. If you stumble upon other parts which can improve let me know.

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. Yes, the naming is a little confusing at first. Maybe we should think the names over to clear things up. > 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.
