Thanks Sebastian,
Regarding your comment on the bug, could you please explain the reason
behind this? I understand the benefit of it working that way
automatically, but not in preventing you from overriding it. The patch I
uploaded uses the existing behaviour by default, but allows you to
override the appearance if you want to.
It doesn't make sence to me to not allow this. You can manually override
other properties including the decorator.
Thanks,
Matt
For the sake of the group this is the comment from the bug report:

-------
Child controls are always styled according to the first parent which is
not a child control of any other widget. Overriding a appearance of a
child control is not possible - by design.
But you can easily overwrite such a appearance entry by accessing the parent
e.g.
"button/label" : {
style : function()
{
return { textColor: "black" };
}
}
If you have further question regarding this topic feel free to post to our
mailing list.
