Interface StyleManager

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractHardCodedStyle, CalmsStyle, DHLStyle, GenericStyle, ZenoStyle

public interface StyleManager

Echo echo component can be styled through the applyStyle() method. A Style is in essence a collection of peroperty values that are applied to the component. (Although the component decides which properties can be applied through styling).

Dynamic components (Dyna*) in jZeno have one or more default Styles that influence the visual appearance of that component. These styles are automatically applied by the dynamic component at constuction time.

Implement this interface for you own custom requirements. For ease-of-use some pre-implemented styles are available, including a generic style manager that can be configured through an administration screen.

For an an example implementation take a look at
