Hi,
Is it possible change the default appearance of Forms specific widgets
like Section, Expandables or widgets created via FormToolkit, using
theming mechanism for instance ?
Regards,
Setya

Im sorry to say, the widgets provided by Forms are not yet themeable. It
is also not possible to distinguish widgets created by the FormToolkit
from those that are not. If you need to style those widgets in a
different way, you'll have to set a widget variant on them after creation.
In the future, there might be easier ways to handle this, e.g. using
descendent selectors in CSS, but that's still far out.
Regards,
Ralf

Thanks. I'll experiment with this to see if it fits my needs.
More question, what if I need to change appearance of workbench parts like
views, editor tabs etc ? Is it possible at all ?

Styling the workbench with CSS isn't possible, neither in RAP nor in
RCP.
You would need to write your own 'Presentation'.
