About supported styles

All themes support the inheritable and noninheritable text styles, but not all styles are supported by all themes. If you try to set a style property on a control but the current theme does not support that style, Flex does not apply the style.

Some styles are only used by skins in the theme, while others are used by the component code itself. The display text of components is not skinnable, so support for text styles is theme-independent.

Themes	Supported styles
All	Inheritable	`color` `fontFamily` `fontSize` `fontStyle`	`fontWeight` `textAlign` `textIndent`
All	Noninheritable	`paddingLeft` `paddingRight` `textDecoration`
All	Component -defined	`disabledColor` `headerHeight` `horizontalAlign` `horizontalGap` `leading` `paddingBottom` `paddingLeft` `paddingRight` `paddingTop`	`rollOverColor` `selectionColor` `tabHeight` `tabWidth` `textRollOverColor` `textSelectedColor` `verticalAlign` `verticalGap`
Halo Aeon	Component-dependent and all text styles	`backgroundGradientAlphas` `backgroundGradientColors` `borderAlpha` `borderColor` `borderSides` `borderThickness` `cornerRadius` `dateHeaderColor` `dateRollOverColor` `dropShadowEnabled` `fillAlphas` `fillColors`	`footerColors` `headerColors` `highlightAlphas` `highlightColor` `roundedBottomCorners` `selectedDateColor` `shadowDirection` `shadowDistance` `strokeWidth` `themeColor` `todayColor`
