Shadow CSS Theme Available
I don’t know if it’s because of all the Apollo sample application screenshots floating around, but several people have been asking for a “dark” CSS theme. Maybe it’s just ’cause “dark” UIs look nice. Hmmm, maybe an Adobe Lightroom Theme is in order.
Anyhow, you can check out the Shadow CSS Theme, download the CSS or test it out using the following source in the mx:Style tag of your Application’s MXML:

It looks like the font is missing, the live demo on the windows version of firefox 2 doesn’t look like the screenshot?

Yes, I figured that might happen. It’s because I have Monaco specified as the fontFamily in the “global” style attributes.
You can always specify a different font when you download the CSS.
global {
fontFamily: (Your fontFamily goes here);
}
I’ll fix it.

Nice.. looks really good! It looks especially nice with a “Eurostile” font as well.
Dark themes have a place, aesthetically, and can be very attractive. IMO, as long as any text-intensive component remains dark-letters-on-light-bg, they’re a lovery choice.
