Creating a Theme in Eclipse

The wizard creates the theme folder under the WebContent/VAADIN/themes folder and the actual style sheet as mytheme.scss and styles.scss files, as illustrated in Newly Created Theme.

Newly Created Theme

The created theme extends a built-in base theme with an @import statement. See the explanation of theme inheritance in . Notice that the reindeer theme is not located in the widgetsets folder, but in the Vaadin JAR. See “Built-in Themes” for information for serving the built-in themes.

If you later rename the theme in Eclipse, notice that changing the name of the folder will not automatically change the @Theme annotation. You need to change such references to theme names in the calls manually.
