Theme overrides are not included in development mode on secha app refresh

[Wedgybo]

Hi there,

I've followed through on the documentation found here for producing themes in 4.2 using Cmd 3.1.0. http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/4-2/#!/guide/theming

According to the documentation. You should be able to update the development version [workspace]/[app]/index.html with these overrides using 'sencha app refresh'.

I think there may be a step missing, either that or I have done something wrong. I had to add in

<script src="../packages/[theme]/build/[theme].js"></script>

To my index.html file so that my overrides work when building my application. Is this the correct way to do this? or am I doing something wrong?

Cheers,
Jamie

Think you have to do a build to get the CSS updated for dev mode

It looks like even after doing a build, the CSS is only updated if you run the actual build in the browser (ie: [project]/build/build_name/index.html). But running the app from the root folder of the application ([project]/index.html), the theme is not applied. This is different from a Touch application built with CMD, which does have the CSS from the build available when the index.html is loaded from the application root.
