yes !
But I'm using Riena UI only partly - not the strict UI - only Views with
Ridgets / Markers / Validation in a RCP app communicating with the
server thru Riena Remote Services and also using Riena
ObjectTransactions to transfer deltas of changed entity attributes only
....and we just started a subproject (redView - Riena EMF Dynamic View)
where we generate the Riena Views and create the View dynamically
....please expect some weeks until Client - UI - Examples will come
and before you ask: at the moment there's no source code published -
but will come soon (Open Source EPL)

You can plugin Themes at runtime but only at starttime at this point in time I believe. But you can
certainly switch Thema without changing your application code.
However the EclipseCon presentations only contains UI-Visions which we had at the that time which was
based on a pre-Riena application based on Swing. Swing quite naturally comes with Themes.
Riena now also has Themes for SWT and you can see a good example for them in this presentation
http://www.eclipsecon.org/summiteurope2008/sessions?id=39 (slide 24) so that is changing color, font, moving
logos navigation and things like that without touching or recompiling the code just by supplying a differnt
system property at start.
Beyond that you can also modify the "Look". We have yet not alternate Look implemented but that would include
having different renders for everything navigation (on the left) like ModuleGroup, Module, Submodule and also for the
top SubApplication switcher and top bar.
any more feedback questions, let me know
christian
p.s. the riena.example.app has two launch files for the different themes
