Haxe

i guess css hot reloading may be _fairly_ easy to accomplish... though it would differ from backend to backend... which makes it a pretty huge pain

thinking about it, it may not have to be backend specific

no issue - I was just running thru some tests - but theme styles with basic css is working. Trying to change the font right now

though there may (likely will) be edge cases

i dont know how they work outside of haxeui, so dont know how to implement them

a tiny example (if you have time / energy) of a different font in a vanilla heaps app would be pretty great

while you are being so helpful... shouldn't background-color  in a .vbox change the color?

does an inline style work? `<vbox style="background-color: yellow">`

does adding a <style> section in the xml work?

```html
<style>
.vbox {
    background-color: red;
}
</style>
```

```<vbox >
    <style> 
        .vbox { background-color: red; padding: 5px;}
    </style>
    <button text="Click Me!" onclick="this.text='Thanks!'"  />
    <label text="Hello there" />
</vbox>```

right, but did that work in your theme? it may be related to resource loading again

```<box>
    <style> 
        .vbox { background-color: red; padding: 5px;}
    </style>

    <vbox >
        <button text="Click Me!" onclick="this.text='Thanks!'"  />
        <label text="Hello there" />
    </vbox>
</box>```

sure, but it didnt before, right? Where did you have `.vbox` first time around?

the style was declared after the vbox so I added the box container to get the style defined prior to the vbox tag

shouldnt matter where you define the style (unless you use scoped css)

Uncaught exception Null Access   - I believe when I was debugging a few months ago that a  container  must be the first thing in the xml that the ComponentMacro sees

well, you cant have "style" as your root element if thats what you mean
