Button title/text color

SmartGWT Version : 2.2
Browser Version : Chrome 5.0
TLDR : How is one to change only the text color of a Button?

I am evaluating SmartGWT for a medium sized project and have
encountered a simple issue. I would be very grateful for any
help in advancing past this issue. I have searched the forums but
have not found any post or mention of this issue specifically.


I have included a .CSS file into the HTML containing this class :

        .helloTitle{
        	color: red;
        }

The textcolor of the title of a button appears to be read-only.
I took the sample code from the showcase for a button :

        final Button cssButton = new Button("CSS Button");  
        cssButton.setShowRollOver(true);  
        cssButton.setShowDisabled(true);  
        cssButton.setShowFocused(false);
        cssButton.setShowDown(true);

I attempt to apply the CSS class to the button in this manner, but it has no effect.

        cssButton.setTitleStyle("helloTitle");

Then I attempt this, but it has no effect.

        cssButton.setStyleName("helloTitle");

Then I attempt this, but it has no effect.

        cssButton.addStyleName("helloTitle");

Then I attempt this which does affect the Button element, but removes the theme/skin - which is the default theme/skin that ships with SmartGwt.

        cssButton.setBaseStyle("helloTitle");

How is one to change only the text color of a Button?

Much thanks,

AFAIK your baseStyle must include the other attributes of the default ('button') style

Applying 2 CSS class names to a baseStyle via setBaseStyle does not seem to work either. Consider with the same CSS class, 'helloTitle' from original post ;

button.setBaseStyle("button helloTitle");

In the HTML source it is apparent that both CSS class names have been output, however the red-text is not visible.

Any suggestions?
I do not want to remove the CSS file from the theme-jar.

Thank you,

?
why remove the css file?
include in your 'helloTitle' baseStyle all the attributes of the default ('button') style, not only the 'color' attribute.
