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.

correctly, there are 3 layers to a final Theme:

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.

them, which would be a massive shame.
Glad to hear that :)

cheers,
