Using the Tahoe skin

[dbscott525]

I am trying to get the skin effect as show in the SmartGWT showcase for the Tahoe skin. I have just upgraded to SmartGWT 6.1-p20170730. My .gwt.xml file looks like this:

<?xml version=[I]"1.0"[/I] encoding=[I]"UTF-8"[/I]?>
<module rename-to=[I]'Aktana'[/I]>
 
    <inherits name=[I]'com.cedarcone.Orchestrate.OrchestrateCommon'[/I] />
 
    <inherits name=[I]"com.smartgwtee.SmartGwtEE"[/I] />
    <inherits name=[I]"com.smartclient.theme.tahoe.Tahoe"[/I] />
 
       <!-- Specify the [U]app[/U] entry point class. -->
       <entry-point
              class=[I]'com.cedarcone.Orchestrate.client.aktana.entry.AktanaEntry'[/I] />
 
</module>

However, I am not getting the effect as show on the SmartGWT showcase. Please see the attached image that shows what I’m getting.

The problem here is that you're inheriting both the "SmartGWTEE" module and the "Tahoe" theme module.
SmartGWTEE includes a theme (Enterprise) by default so you're getting two skins loaded on top of each other with odd results. You should, as an aside, be seeing a warning in the developer console indicating that this is happening.

You can fix it by inheriting SmartGWTEENoTheme instead of SmartGWTEE (and then leaving the Tahoe inherits tag in place).
The relevant documentation on this is here: http://www.smartclient.com/smartgwte.../Skinning.html

I changed the .gwt.xml file to

<?xml version=[I]"1.0"[/I] encoding=[I]"UTF-8"[/I]?>
<module rename-to=[I]'Aktana'[/I]>
 
    <inherits name=[I]'com.cedarcone.Orchestrate.OrchestrateCommon'[/I] />
 
    <inherits name=[I]"com.smartgwtee.SmartGwtEENoTheme"[/I]/>
    <inherits name=[I]"com.smartclient.theme.tahoe.Tahoe"[/I] />
 
    <entry-point class=[I]'com.cedarcone.Orchestrate.client.aktana.entry.AktanaEntry'[/I] />
 
</module>

This works.

The relevant documentation on this is here: http://www.smartclient.com/smartgwte.../Skinning.html

The document tells me a lot about skins but doesn’t seem to document how the .gwt.xml files should be configured. Can you reference me to a document that shows how to configure the .gwt.xml file for selecting skins?
