GWT 2 Theme

[Kango_V]

Is it possible to use the Google Wave theme as the standard for GWT
2? I know it may need paring down slight, but that would still be
cool.

There are a lot of programmers that would like to suggest GWT to
management, but do not like the default. I'm sure if this was done,
far more developers would pick it up and use it out of the box without
needing a designer.

Thoughts anyone?

Hi,

I think that currently a lot of people are looking at GWT to use it
for business apps inside big corporations.
Google and GWT is sometimes more focussing on getting GWT to drive
websites and in those situations custom skinning is really important.

It's nice that you can but I would really like to skip CSS and just
use the widgets with a nice an shiny default look and feel.

What would be even better is that they would put a site online that
offers multiple skins (as they do for iGoogle for example). Who knows
for fun we might get some animated skins as well :-)

It's totally in your power to do this on your own, you know. It's the
beauty of the open-source community -- you don't need us to spoon-feed
you themes!

Why not unleash your inner designer, make some really cool GWT themes,
and package them up like "chrome", "dark", and "standard"? Start a
project for your themes and earn the praise and admiration of
developers worldwide!

Inner designer? That made me laugh hehe. I'm all for open source.
In fact that's all I use.
But we have many projects to do and not a designer in our sordid
bunch :)

I'm just looking at the themes which ExtGWT and SmartGWT come with and
feel that if GWT came with a really nice theme, it's uptake would be
far greater.

You know, I might actually have a go at this. Force me to lean CSS.
