I'll have to take a look at Ext again as well. We bought a license to get at svn a bit before the 3.0 beta release at the April conference. At that point, at least, there had been no substantial themeing changes and all that they were really releasing was Core. It isn't obvious from the site now if anything besides Core has been released. Perhaps it is just confusion though. When they released 3.0 Core, I expected there to be a follow up with 3.0 Other Bits. Have they rolled it back into one project? Is there no separation between Core and...other stuff?
Do check out the themeroller for JQueryUI. You can do a lot of on the fly skinning for people with different color look/feels without having to change any images at all and that is huge for rolling out multi-customer websites.
