Hi Mark,
first sorry for the big delay but hadn't time since some day ago ...

thank oyu very much, this is our main focus :-) ... but in last months
I had very litle time to work on it, I hope to get some more time now
:-) .

For 2.1 maybe we could add these sample settings in one of our examples ...

yes, this is a common practice, like any standard method naming for
Java Bean properties, in our doc on BXML this is written (maybe could
be improved/calrified in the doc) ...

For 2.1 maybe we could add a new style/property for this ... (and if
simple we could even backport to 2.0.x branch).
To not lose things, it would be great if you could add a JIRA issue
for this for 2.1.0 (as improvement) and assign to me. Then, if/when
you want, attach some patch ... but this is an optional step :-) .

I have to check this for 2.1, I still have to close some minor tweaks, see here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-689
If you want, put some comment/fix needed there ...
Note that with a custom color combination file you can better see
problems with skin drawings.

Thanks for this sample.

Could you post a sample ?
Thanks for sharing with us all this info/comments.
