Hello,
many UI elements are customizable using those nice "mold" modes.
When I compare different UI elements, they offer different modes.
In my opinion these modes are not very "intuitive", each element has its own modes, some more some lesse options.
Could you maybe harmonize those modes ?

IMHO "mold" should be a kind of "skin": For example "cyan" skin or "black" skin or "crystal" skin.
But right now, every element has its own "mold" modes, which m akes it very complicate to change the look of an application, unless you redefine moldes for each element.

Greetings
Bernd

Bernd,

mold is used majorly for component with the same Java object but with different "visual" structures. Use tabbox as an example, typical tabbox is "layout" differently from "accordin" type, yet they share the same Java object Tabbox.

As for the skin or theme, I think it is more "color" and "css" style issue. ZK has provided a mechanism for such requirement:

Though to make a new theme needs some works.
