CodenameOne - change color of checkbox in theme - checkbox

I'm using the 'Blue Flat' theme in a cn1 project, and the checkboxes in a MultiButton component (I suppose following the Button text color) are completely white, making them invisible on a white background. I've tried changing their foreground color in the theme (in the GUI Builder theme tab), I tried replacing the theme files with checkboxes of a darker shade, but nothing seems to affect it.
How can I make the MultiButton checkbox a different color?

The blue theme customizes the checkbox image theme constant which you can remove at which case it should derive theme colors:

Just select the constants tab in the theme and remove the ones relevant to the checkbox.

Trouble changing background color of TextField in Codename One

I just started building my first App with Codename One and I'm having quite some trouble. :-)
I cant change the background color of a TextField, I changed everything in the Theme and named it "TextField". At the Color tab I changed the background color and set Transparency to 255. Since the Component is named TextField, shouldnt the style be applied automatically when I make a new TextField?
I also tried to set the UIID manually to "TextField", which didn't help either.
Am I missing something?
Kind regards,
Max
The way backgrounds work in Codename One is this:
Border is applied first
Then image
Then gradient
Then color
TextField and other components such as Button etc. often have a default border derived from the theme.
Switch to the Border tab, click derive then click the ... button and select empty.

Codename one, Styling the side Menu

How can i style the side menu, I created it using this tutorial youtube link, I want ot make it transparent and insert a label with a logo

To style the side menu, modify the SideNavigationPanel UIID in your theme.
To add the logo, you can do something like this
Toolbar t = new Toolbar();
form.setToolbar(t);
t.setTitle("tayary");
Label logoLabel = new Label(logoImage);
logoLabel.setTextPosition(Label.BOTTOM);
logoLabel.setText("label text here");
logoLabel.setUIID("SideMenuLogo");
t.addComponentToSideMenu(logoLabel);
Add the SideMenuLogo UIID to your theme, change Alignment to Center, and adjust the Top and Bottom margins.
To underline commands, modify the background in SideCommand UIID in your theme. It should be of Type: IMAGE_TILE_HORIZONTAL_ALIGN_BOTTOM. For the image, you can use any borderBottom image in your theme (If you don't have one, create any border using Image Border Wizard, and use its borderBottom image).
You can check this demo for a working a example.

Codename one Blue theme checkboxes in BoxLayout

I am using the CodenameOne blue theme ('shipped with' CodenameOne). I added checkboxes to a BoxLayout.Y container. When selecting one of the checkboxes, the checkbox is getting smaller and wider. I looked in the theme but I can't find out why.
Tested on Android 4.4
I added two images to show what happens. In the first, METAR was checked (and unchecked I guess), in the second, TAF was checked.
After checking another one, the size of the checkbox selected before is normal again.
There are 4 different state selected,unselected , pressed and disabled . And all styles of checkbox can be viewed in theme and as the screenshot there is blank in pressed and disabled style so generate the styles from theme.

ExtJS5: Custom theme for tabpanel

I have created a custom theme for my application. The base color of the theme is white. I have a tabpanel on one of my view. There are almost 15 tabs on that view. Not all the tabs can be visible at the same time therefore scrollers are added by default for navigation between tabs at left and right. The issue is the color of the scrollers. With neptune or any other default theme these scrollers are clearly visible but with the custom theme they are plain white. User can't even know that there are srollers there. The scroller image is also not visible. Can someone specify the SAAS variables that configures the scroller appearance? $panel-tool-background-image: 'tools/tool-sprites' or $panel-tool-background-image: 'tools/tool-sprites-dark' do not work either.
The documentation should provide what you need ("CSS Variables" section). There are a few relating to the scroller.

You could also look at using the extjs-tab-panel-ui mixin to create a custom ui for your tab panel:
