Does anyone out there know where I might obtain a library of style sheets to apply with WebFocus?

I've looked through the samples and I don't like any of them.

Just wondering where I might locate more (lazy person that I am).

Any help is appreciated.

Isaac,

I have created a few myself that I will simply paste here. We are all in agreement that the ones that come with Dev Studio are not too great, and that's being worked on.

It is also VERY easy to make your own. What I often do is create some mock/fake report and call it Style_Maker.fex or something.

The idea is that you mock up anything and everything you want to style: Acrosses, BY's, SUMS, Totals, headings, etc.

Once you have manually styled all your items, in the Dev Studio menu bar, choose Report --> Styling. On that tab there is a button (lower left) called Style File Selection. What you do is enter a name under DESTINATION and when you run the report, Dev Studio will create a new Style sheet for you.

One more thing to be aware of:

When you create your own sheets using the technique I mentioned above, Dev Studio captures EVERYTHING that has been stylized. This includes:

* Data Visualization
* Drill downs, including MultiDrill
* Conditional Styling

UPDATE:

Here is the link to the documentation to create style sheets:

Here are the style sheets that won the contest maybe you will like them.

Style Sheets

Yes, we are working on improving the stylesheet files that are packaged in Dev Studio. In fact, just today we have added the stylesheet winners as well as some stylesheets that I created myself (just couldn't resist). All will be available in Release 7. Also look for improvements in that Style File Selection dialogue that is a bit difficult to understand to say the least. That earth tone theme could have easily picked up an iPod if entered! Would love to package that as well with the designers permission...
