ZK - Open Source Ajax Java Framework

Hi,
it's been a long time since I've been around here...
I'm still using zk 3.6 version and never been able to find the time for an upgrade...
Now with the latest zk6 freshly version I'm experimenti with the new databind and everything (I'm about 2 years behind the newest zk release..)
I have a simple question (more complicated will come soon :)
I've seen that the breeze theme is now the default theme, how can I switch to the classic blue one?
I haven't found a blue.jar file to put in the classpath and all smalltalks about that topic seems outdated from zk6.
Thank you,
Bye

Bump?

Just delete the breeze.jar file from the lib.

there is no breeze.jar in my lib folder, I'm trying ZK6 and it has the breeze theme as default

Serves me right for not reading - assumed you were looking at 5.06. I''m sure someone will answer soon with the correct solution.

I thought it was a simple question... :)

Anyone? :(

Hi mbarbieri,

classicblue currently is replaced with breeze,
you may post a feature request here about this issue.

I'll need Classic Blue to be available on the latest ZK version too. Thanks..

Yes and me - must have Classic Blue available in 6.

+1 for classic blue available as a .jar on ZK 6+

The tracker that mbarbieri created: http://tracker.zkoss.org/browse/ZK-585

Vote up!

Done

Just voted up for me too... MUST HAVE CLASSIC BLUE!

Just reading the small talks notes about ZK 6 RC2:

ZK_Breeze_now_default

"It is extremely easy to use and supports dynamic theme switching between Breeze, Silver Gray and Classic Blue. "

I've looked in the Themes which are released with RC2 and I can only see Breeze, Sapphire and Silvertail :(

Here is my situation. Please help to resolve it:
Recently I was trying to migrate from ZK 5.0.9 to ZK 6. And the only issue that I have met was integrating silvergray ZK Theme (it is working perfectly with zk 5.0.9). Is there any simple way to make silvergray theme work with ZK 6? By the way, I didn't find any themes for ZK 6? Are they going to be released soon? Do you have a visual editor for ZK Themes??

Notice that the height of the rows inside the grid or listbox for Breeze theme is much taller than those in Classic Blue. So when I display a Listbox with Paging turned on, what used to be a 20 rows per page in Classic Blue was now down to 13-14 rows per page in Breeze. How can I reduce the row height in Breeze to match that in Classic Blue?

Hi zknewbie1,

You can override CSS class to change the row height as follows:

<style>
div.z-listbox-body .z-listcell {
   padding: 3px;
}
</style>

Thanks a lot Vincentjian..

It seems that not many people are interesting in ZK theme subject :)
But it is one of the features that can attract new users. I am still not migrating to ZK 6 because of just the problem with silvergray theme.
Above css fix the height of the listitems in a listbox, but there are a lot of other problems with styling: height of listheader, sorting arrows are taken from both themes (default and silvergray) simultaneously, paging icons are dis-positioned, colors are mixed and so on. It looks like some kind of 'MIX' of default and custom themes. What is the best practice to apply them without mixing?
I am using ZK 5 for an application and it sometimes looks not ok when page is loaded an user can see how one style override another (colors are changed from blue to gray). But its generally works ok. Also it wasn't a problem for me to integrate silvergray into ZK 5 application. Just some fixes were done in CSS. ZK 6 Themes are different :)
It would be nice to have WYSIWYG tool to edit themes that will allow you to see actual result but not a mix of default and custom one.
Please help!!!
