Re: Problem creating custom gwt theme

I realized soon after posting how to solve my problem... so here's the solution; you have to use the path conventions that the gwt themes use so that your resources can be found. I should have known that because long time ago I got a custom theme from the GWT Theme Generator (http://works.sen-sei.in/gtg/). The css and image files need to be in the public directory and then follow a "gwt/{projectName}/" subdirectory, so the project looks like this now:

com/mycompany/standard/StandardRTL.gwt.xml

com/mycompany/standard/Standard.gwt.xml

com/mycompany/standard/StandardResources.gwt.xml

com/mycompany/standard/public/gwt/standard/standard.css

com/mycompany/standard/public/gwt/standard/standard_rtl.css

com/mycompany/standard/public/gwt/standard/images/thumb_vertical.png

com/mycompany/standard/public/gwt/standard/images/circles.png

com/mycompany/standard/public/gwt/standard/images/vborder_ie6.png

com/mycompany/standard/public/gwt/standard/images/thumb_horz.png

com/mycompany/standard/public/gwt/standard/images/vborder.png

com/mycompany/standard/public/gwt/standard/images/corner_ie6.png

com/mycompany/standard/public/gwt/standard/images/hborder_ie6.png

com/mycompany/standard/public/gwt/standard/images/circles_ie6.png

com/mycompany/standard/public/gwt/standard/images/corner.png

com/mycompany/standard/public/gwt/standard/images/hborder.png

and it works... that's what I get from trying to optimize/modify the structure I copied from the GWT Clean theme.

So I want to create a custom gwt theme. To do this, I created a standalone maven project with a similar dir structure that I see with the gwt standard theme inside gwt-user.jar. I package it as a jar so it looks like this:

com/mycompany/mytheme/StandardRTL.gwt.xml

com/mycompany/mytheme/Standard.gwt.xml

com/mycompany/mytheme/StandardResources.gwt.xml

com/mycompany/mytheme/public/css/standard.css

com/mycompany/mytheme/public/css/standard_rtl.css

com/mycompany/mytheme/public/images/thumb_vertical.png

com/mycompany/mytheme/public/images/circles.png

com/mycompany/mytheme/public/images/vborder_ie6.png

com/mycompany/mytheme/public/images/thumb_horz.png

com/mycompany/mytheme/public/images/vborder.png

com/mycompany/mytheme/public/images/corner_ie6.png

com/mycompany/mytheme/public/images/hborder_ie6.png

com/mycompany/mytheme/public/images/circles_ie6.png

com/mycompany/mytheme/public/images/corner.png

com/mycompany/mytheme/public/images/hborder.png

then I specify this mytheme.jar as a maven dependency on a gwt project, the idea being that more than one project will use it. In the gwt project, I inherit my custom theme in my gwt module file like this:

<inherits name='com.mycompany.mytheme.Standard' />

and all css styles from standard*.css are used so it works fine, *except* for the images which are simply not used/found.

What do I need to do so that the images are found and used properly when referenced from the css file? (how are custom themes supposed to be packaged?)

Your theme has to be <inherit/>ed in an application, not compiled
standalone.
