Well, there is CSS support in RAP, see:
http://help.eclipse.org/helios/topic/org.eclipse.rap.help/he lp/html/advanced/theming-custom.html
http://help.eclipse.org/helios/topic/org.eclipse.rap.help/he lp/html/advanced/theming.html
The main questions is, did you do a proper qooxdoo port or just a simple wrap?
Sidenote:
Although I don't like it and won't recommend it to you, you could always style in a non-RAP (-qooxdoo) way with your custom css, which you load with something like this:
var ref = document.createElement("link");
ref.setAttribute("rel", "stylesheet");
ref.setAttribute("type", "text/css");
ref.setAttribute("href", "myTheme.css");
document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(ref);
But remember to expose your "myTheme.css" as a resource.

It's a simple wrapping of the component.

Yes, this does not work. What I have currently is the YUI StyleSheet class
which can load CSS from a javascript string!
But, I don't like this either.
Cheers,
Paul

Hi Ben,
The problem with this is that every application that wants to use the custom
widget is going to have to put the CSS in their branding! Not the best
solution. I was hoping for something like the IResource#isJSLibrary() for
CSS.
I currently have it working by using YUI to inject the CSS into the DOM. Not
the best solution, but it works for now.
Cheers,
Paul
