GWT Themes and Component Libraries

Are there any good themes or component libraries for GWT? The built-in themes are pretty clear for my purposes. I have seen gwt-ext and smartgwt, but this is not so great. Are there any others who have a really beautiful look? I know about vaadin, I really like the look, but from what I understand, it's just a whole new structure.

The first thing you need to pay attention to is that there are two structures that use EXT and GWT:

Both are based on the Ext JS component library.

Gwt-Ext is based on the old version of Ext JS, when it was still LGPL, but was no longer being developed .

Ext GWT is owned by the same company that is still developing Ext JS. It is still being developed and is available under free and commercial licenses, and of the two, the one I would use.

SmartGWT is an alternative (and this is what GWT-Ext people are transitioning to). My colleague looked at him and didn’t like him the same way as Ext GWT, since he has a pretty thin wrapper around JavaScript SmartClient, while Ext GWT has quite a lot of Java code. The difference is that if you run the Ext GWT application in Hosted Mode and attach your debugger, you will see what Ext GWT does, but with SmartGWT you will see many IDispatch calls where it will disappear in native JavaScript, where your debugger won’t be able to follow.

There are several themes developed for EXT GWT that can be found at:

Olive Theme: http://extjs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15505 Dark Gray Theme: http://extjs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15341 Purple Theme: http: // extjs .com / forum / showthread.php? t = 15377 Black topic: http://extjs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15504

To use these themes, you will also need to use EXT GWT widgets instead of those that come with the GWT library.

I am currently also evaluating ExtGWT : at least with the release of the new version 2.0 that just came out today, it does not rely on ExtJS, but is almost completely written in GWT, which is nice. Exceptions are chart widgets that wrap a library of open flash diagrams that rely on additional javascript (plus flash, obviously).

Try Extjs GWT is basically the same ext-gwt framework , but in a different approach.

Search google in a friend found:

For me, Extjs GWT is the best you can find, and it was developed by the foundation, which means that you have support.
