Hi Zythyr,
Re: Mouse wheel zooming: Unfortunately I'm not an expert on this area since I've never used it. I suggest that you leave this feature for last. Once you're ready for it, refer to the zooming author's demo file to see how he sets it up. Re: poor docs on Themes. You're absolutely right. This issue has been on my list for a long time. I'll work on updating the docs on Fri. In the meantime, see how I change the theme in the example: view-source:http://simile-widgets.googlecode.com/svn/timeline/trunk/src/webapp/site/examples/test_example2/test_example2.html (look at the source of the above file. The timeline itself does not appear on the page because I need to adjust the paths to match the new repo layout.) Note that each band has its own theme.

But I am having 2 more problems with it, and I think other people are having the same problem. 1) MouseWheelScrollingAndZooming- I can't figure out the proper settings for pixelsPerInterval for the ZoomSteps. I used the default settings in the tutoiral, but they don't work smoothly. When I try to zoom, the whole timeline gets messed up. 2) Changing Themes- Based on this tutoiral, http://code.google.com/p/simile-widgets/wiki/Timeline_CreatingNewThemes, changing the theme doesn't work. Read the comments posted by other users and it shows why theme changing doesn't work. As posted by danielbragion, he says, "he file "api/scripts/bundle.js" is executed in the place of the "api/scripts/timeline.js" when the variable "bundle" is set to true in the timeline-api.js file (which is the default)."
