What is the process for identifying the properties in the .theme file that contribute to the creation of a specific CSS class in GXT3?

The current information provided by Sencha regarding their Theme Builder is quite limited, focusing only on the basic file structure and syntax details (which includes gradients and functions):

My specific issue lies in determining which property to set in the .theme file to impact a particular CSS class, such as the font used in the header of a ContentPanel.

Initially, I explored the themebuilder\examples\skeleton-config\skeleton-config.theme file, assuming it contained all necessary properties, yet did not find any reference to "contentPanel."

An example provided in the documentation is as follows:

details {
  info {
    messageText = defaultFont
    //this could also be written as
    //messageText = theme.defaultFont
  }
}

This example appears straightforward because there is an existing Info class that aligns with the "info" element within the theme.

Upon inspecting the generated HTML, I identified a CSS class name within the header of my ContentPanel:

.CS-com-example-client-base-panel-Css3HeaderAppearance-Css3HeaderStyle-headerText

Based on this class name, I assumed the element name to be specified in the .theme file would be "panel," and the property name should be "headerText." However, after reviewing the skeleton-config.theme file, I discovered that the panel element does not include a headerText property.

Interestingly, while headerText is present in other elements like datePicker, error tip, info, and tip, it's surprising that panel doesn't have it.

Answer №1

In my quest to determine which configuration parameter I needed to adjust in order to impact a specific CSS, I turned to the GWT generated classes.

Upon examining the generated HTML, I identified the CSS class name:

.CS-com-example-client-base-panel-Css3HeaderAppearance-Css3HeaderStyle-headerText

I then searched for this string within the directory target/.generated (I am utilizing Maven) and came across the class Css3HeaderAppearance_Css3HeaderResources_default_InlineClientBundleGenerator.java where that string was referenced multiple times:

".CS-com-example-client-base-panel-Css3HeaderAppearance-Css3HeaderStyle-headerText {\n  right : " + ("20px")  + ";\n}\n" +
".CS-com-example-client-base-panel-Css3HeaderAppearance-Css3HeaderStyle-headerText {\n  font-family : " + ("tahoma"+ ","+ " " +"arial"+ ","+ " " +"verdana"+ ","+ " " +"sans-serif")  + ";\n  font-size : " + ("11px")  + ";\n  font-weight : " + ("bold")  + ";\n  line-height : " + ("15px")  + ";\n  color : ") + ((theme().panel().font().color() + "")  + ";\n  font-size : " + (theme().panel().font().size() + "")  + ";\n  font-weight : " + (theme().panel().font().weight() + "")  + ";
\n  font-family : " + (theme().panel().font().family() + "")  + ";\n  line-height : " + ("15px")  + ";\n  text-transform :
" + ("none")  + ";\n}\n.PR-com-example-client-base-panel-Css3HeaderAppearance-Css3HeaderStyle-headerBar {\n  float : " + ("left")
 + ";\n}\n/* CssDef */\n/* CssDef */\n/* CssDef */\n/* CssDef */\n")) : ((".OR-com-example-client-base-panel-Css3HeaderAppearance-Css3HeaderStyle-header {\n  padding : " + ("4px"+ " " +"3px"+
 " " +"2px"+ " " +"5px")  + ";\n  position : " + ("relative")  + ";\n  padding : " + ("0")  + ";\n}\n.BS-com-example-client-base-panel- 
Css3HeaderAppearance-Css3HeaderStyle-headerIcon {\n  float : " + ("left")  + ";\n}\n.AS-com-example-client-base-panel-Css3HeaderAppearance-
Css3HeaderStyle-headerHasIcon .BS-com-example-client-base-panel-Css3HeaderAppearance-Css3HeaderStyle-headerIcon {\n  width : " + ("18px")  
+ ";\n}\n.AS-com-example-client-base-panel-Css3HeaderAppearance-Css3HeaderStyle-headerHasIcon " +
".CS-com-example-client-base-panel-Css3HeaderAppearance-Css3HeaderStyle-headerText {\n  left : " +
("20px")  + ";\n}\n" +
".CS-com-example-client-base-panel-Css3HeaderAppearance-Css3HeaderStyle-headerText {\n  font-family : " + ("tahoma"+ ","+ " " +"arial"+  
","+ " " +"verdana"+ ","+ " " +
"sans-serif")  + ";\n  font-size : " + ("11px")  + ";\n  font-weight : " + ("bold")  + ";\n  line-height : " + ("15px")  ;
\n  color : ") + ((theme().panel().font().color() + "")  + ";\n  font-size : " + (theme().panel().font().size() + "")  + ";\n  " +
"font-weight : " + (theme().panel().font().weight() + "")  + ";\n  font-family : " + (theme().panel().font().family() + "")  + "
;\n  line-height : " + ("15px")  + ";\n  text-transform : " + ("none")  + ";\n}\n.PR-com-example-client-base-panel-Css3HeaderAppearance-Css3HeaderStyle-headerBar {
\n  float : " + ("right")  + ";\n}\n/* CssDef */\n/* CssDef */\n/* CssDef */\n/* CssDef */\n"));

It became evident that initially it produced some pre-determined CSS classes followed by generating a CSS class based on the values retrieved from calls to theme().*.

By correlating these calls with the framework of the file skeleton-config.theme, I arrived at the solution to my query:

theme() corresponds to the "details" element in the .theme file

theme().panel() corresponds to details.panel or

details {
    panel {

thus, the setting I needed to modify was the font property inside the panel element.

While this resolved my initial inquiry, it did not shed light on all the widgets impacted by the "panel" element in the .theme file.
