Hi dslotemaker, I certainly am no expert at Royale, but in your components, are you using the "emphasis" property? If you don't, a lot of the default colors in some of the themes are grey. So in a button or combobox, try adding emphasis="primary" to get components with the theme colors you are looking for. Like this:
<j:Button localId="myButton" emphasis="primary"/> -- Sent from: http://apache-royale-users.20374.n8.nabble.com/
