Structure of the Style Sheet

A style sheet for Servoy has basic style definitions and style definition classes.

The style definitions for Servoy are as follows:

• form
• label
• button
• field
• check
• radio
• combobox
• tabpanel
• portal

Under any of these style definitions, the developer can create many style definition classes. For example, the label style definition could have the style definition classes label.title, label.small, and label.bold.

Each definition and definition class can have one or many properties associated with it. Properties specified within the style definition are inherited(cascaded) to any style definition class under it. Study the example below

color: #993300;
