If xwt.theme contains code, that code has to be copied for any theme that wants to use similar code. IMO xwt.theme should contain no code. It's next to impossible to _just_ preapply and have a working theme since you are going to be writing traps for _action, _hover, _active, etc. to alter how the widget looks under those conditions... > By the way, I think it's a really bad idea to use the term > "xwt.standard" for this.

Well whatever you want to call it is cool, I'm just picking what was discussed before. :-) > Yes.

I'll try to keep all responses over there. Regards, Andrew _______________________________________________ http://lists.xwt.org/listinfo/dev
