Hi Michael, here's how to add a hover effect to an image:
Extend qx.ui.basic.Image, assign a custom appearance id and add listeners that add/remove the "hovered" state on mouseover/mouseout: qx.Class.define("custom.HoverImage", { extend : qx.ui.basic.Image, construct : function(source) { this.base(arguments, source); this.setAppearance("hoverimage"); this.addListener("mouseover", function() { this.addState("hovered"); }); this.addListener("mouseout", function() { this.removeState("hovered"); }); } }); Add a new appearance definition to source/class/<application>/theme/Appearance.js: qx.Theme.define("custom.theme.Appearance", { extend : qx.theme.modern.Appearance, appearances : { "hoverimage" : { style : function(states) { return { decorator : states.hovered ? "tooltip-error" : undefined }; } } } }); As you can see, the "tooltip-error" decorator is assigned/removed according to the "hovered" state. I'll leave it up to you to define your own decorator.
