Re: Layout principles for UIBinder with Polymer elements

The DockLayoutPanel is designed to take up the whole screen. You only have to define the size of the north/south/east/west panels (or don't give them a size for them to not appear). The center takes up the rest of the available space.

As for Polymer, look at the catalog for the elements you want to style. Here is paper-button for example: https://elements.polymer-project.org/elements/paper-button

Hello all,

      After a number of experiments I have decided to build UI using UIBuilder and Polymer elements library. Tutorials went well and I have build my own interface mixing standard GWT DockLayotPanel (for widget placement) and paper/iron elements from the library. I am not very experienced at CSS/UI building and feel that I am doing something wrong, because:

1. DockLayotPanel requires pre-defined size of the panel in pixels. Otherwise it is not shown at all. I read that required property is "unit" and I can omit width and height, but it doesn't seem so.
   
2. Polymer elements somehow ignore styles. I can't set colour of the elements, for example. I have tried to define style within HTMLPanel (like it is in tutorial <style is="custom-style">) and have tried to put colour directly into element - no luck

  I start to think that it is not a good idea to mix GWT panels with Polymer elements. Polymer HeaderPanel and DrawerPanel does not give such flexibility as GWT panels, but it seems mixing them together bring troubles. Am I right?
