Hello everybody,

I'm using that stripped down version of qooxdoo which comes with rap.
How can I adjust the Terminator's border, for example?

Thanks

Dmitry,

best would be to use theming (see Theming for custom widgets[1]) to
achieve this.
A simpler approach would be to set the border property of the
client-side widget directly (e.g. in its 'constructor'). See the qx
API viewer for reference documentation [2].

Hello Rüdiger,

I was reading [2], tried "terminator.setBorder("inset-thin");" and failed.

Another question. I have two GroupBox'es set on VerticalBoxLayout and
they do overlap a bit. How do I rectify it?

Thanks

Please take a look at those groupboxes, something weird is happening:

you need to pass a qx.ui.core.Border object to setBorder().
e.g.
var border = new qx.ui.core.Border( 2, "inset-thin" );
terminator.setBorder( border );

The actual experts on the qooxdoo mailing-list will probably know an
answer.
Don't forget to mention that you are working with qx 0.7.3 (not 0.8.x).

Thanks, Rüdiger, for your answer. BTW I've got what I wanted. I did
"verticalboxlayout.setSpacing(8);" hence the overlapping is gone.
