GWT has default styles for all its widgets. For example, Button class has the style .gwt-Button. The same applies for other widgets, including more complex ones. What you see in firebug, .gwt-TabBar is the default style for TabBar, and .gwtTabBarItem (the next style on the same line) is the style for TabBarItem which is furthermore cascaded (derived) from .gwtTabBar.
When you don't set any styles for a widget, it uses its default style (and further, cascades the style for complex widgets). You said the code overwrote your styles defined in main.css, this is because you don't have the required styles names in your CSS file (main.css). Otherwise, GWT would load the styles from your file. If you want other names for your styles, just define them and use setPrimaryStyleName (...). Furthermore (let's say you have a generic setting for a widget and you want further customization for a specific one), use setStyleDependentName (...). To finish, I haven't checked the following case: if I set a style name, let's say "shyStyle" for a TabBar, I don't know if GWT knows the styles for subitems, like ".shyStyle .getTabBarItem" Hope it helps, cheers. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
