Re: One Last Description

So xwt.theme is not a standalone theme?  It has no boxen?

Here's what I see as a problem:

org.xwt.themes.monopoly.button:

<xwt>
    <preapply name="xwt.widget.button" />
...
some box structure
...
</xwt>

xwt.widget.button:

<xwt>
    <preapply name="xwt.theme.button" />
...
some other preapplies
...
</xwt>

How does xwt know not to overlay the preapply 'xwt.theme.button' in
'xwt.widget.button'?  Or, if org.xwt.themes.monopoly.button is directly
preapplies xwt.theme.button, how does it not know to to overlay that
preapply?

No, xwt.theme.button does not need to preapply focusable, clickable. 
It's a theme in the new sense of the word, that a theme is an 
implementation of the interface defined by the templates in xwt.theme.

xwt.theme.button does not preapply focusable and clickable. A user has 
to do that themselves.

xwt.widget.button preapplies xwt.theme.button, xwt.theme.focusable, and 
xwt.theme.clickable.

My language is not as good as it should have been in that document, 
because I have no time right now. I'll try and clean it up tomorrow, 
but it does have all the ideas I'm thinking in it.
