I guess you misunderstood me :)

The application writer has no to make any changes to the qooxdoo-contrib 
project he uses. If the contrib project offers an own appearance theme, 
the application writer has to make sure that he is including this 
appearance theme into his own appearance theme to make it work.

Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to express ;-)
