What styles/templates must be defined to build a xxTHEME

SB+ wait for a set of StyleName to be defined into SB+ &! HK.CONTROL.

The style can be defined in many places, each providing a different scope for the style. On the server side, a style can be defined and the field level (in /SD F5, F6), form/screen level, SB+ system id /(HK.CONTROL), for a specific account (/UPDATE.ACCOUNT) or instance wide (/SB.PARMS).

A style can also be defined on the client, either implicitly or explicitly.

In order to define a style implicity do not specify the key to the style only the type, e.g.

 ... ...  This style will affect all those controls of type SBText box that can access this style.

You can change the default style that SB/XA uses explicitly, e.g.

This is how it is currently defined; 

To replace it with a custom style;

 

or if you just want to change a property   

This build the list of Styles to provide when you buikd a xxTHEME. Associated to the SB+ request we define the default wpf control. You can redefine it by template.

this can be a base page for explanation and samples control per control. Why not one wikipage per control ? Yes, this is a good idea, it should make it easier for people to find help.
