If you "only" want to change the appearance of the widgets you can sublcass a meta theme and the themes you need to alter. -> http://qooxdoo.org/documentation/0.8/ui_custom_themes
If you also want to change the graphics on which the widgets (to be more precise: the decorators of the widgets) are based on you have to change the images themselves. > While setting up images and themes works now (somewhat - I'm still not sure > what I'm doing ;-)), I can't find a way to change a table to my desire (I.e. > line-colors, etc...).

Unfortunalety the cells of the table are not full-blown qooxdoo widgets which can be entirely controlled by the appearance theme. However, you can control the colors of the table widget by subclass the existing color theme (qx.theme.modern.Color) and simply change the table colors to your needs. > Maybe someone wants to take a look at this: > > <http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/175544/Andy_01_demoout.jpg> > > Is that possible just using themes?

If you only subclass existing theme classes things won't break. cheers, Alex > On 20.01.09 23:49, "Roman Schmid" <mail...@banal.ch> wrote: > >> thr...@users.sourceforge.net wrote: >>>> Hi Thomas, Andy >>>> >>>> I'd be interested to learn more about this topic as well (a wiki entry >>>> would be great).
