Hi flj,
in Appearance.js there are four entries defining the appearance of a
splitpane and its child controls (splitter, slider and knob). The
default splitter is defined in terms of width/height plus a background
color:
"splitpane/splitter" :
{
style : function(states)
{
return {
width : states.horizontal ? 3 : undefined,
height : states.vertical ? 3 : undefined,
backgroundColor : "background-splitpane"
};
}
}
Instead of this very basic definition you can easily define a custom
decorator, e.g.
"splitpane/splitter":
{
style: function(states)
{
return {
decorator: states.horizontal ? "splitter-horizontal" :
"splitter-vertical"
};
}
}
This way you can do whatever is possible with the various decorator
classes available in qooxdoo. The same applies to the slider and knob
child controls, of course. I'm currently working on a new theme
contribution which isn't quite finished yet but you can have a look at
the preliminary demo application which, among other things, features a
custom splitter: http://scro34.de/qx/silverblue/.
If you need more information as to how to manipulate the splitter's
appearance, just let me know.
Cheers,
Norbert
