GXT3 new style(s) ?

[xalvaro]

I have a quick question and after a quick search, don't see anything about it.

Is there going to be new styles in gxt 3.0 ?.

I know anyone can create his own style, but I think a new style (maybe based on the one used for the sencha forum) would be a great add for GXT 3.0.

The existing blue, gray and slate make current RIA build with GXT look like old Windows (XP) applications.

Thanks for your response.

We will first focus on porting the old theme to the new widgets and new engine, but also plan to offer additional themes. Also it will be a lot easier to change the theme to your own needs.

This is a very good news!
Tks.

As GXT3 is in Release Candidate, is there any plan for a better 2.0 (or 3.0) web like theme in next RC?

I am very interested in Sven's comment 'Also it will be a lot easier to change the theme to your own needs.' Can you provide any pointers/info on how this can/should be done? I too need to modify the GXT 3.0 theme, I haven't looked at that yet in detail but it seems it would be hard because each CSS appearance is spread out over each widget's, panel's, etc source code...just finding them all seems like a large task. I would love to hear about how themes can be created in an easy way. Any pointers regarding custom themes would be greatly appreciated.

They are all in the same package, so it should be very easy to find them. You also directly know which css belongs to which widget and where the classnames gets used, because everything is typed.
