Sets the widget's theme.

jQWidgets uses a pair of css files - jqx.base.css and jqx.[theme name].css. The base stylesheet creates the styles related to the widget's layout like margin, padding, border-width, position. The second css file applies the widget's colors and backgrounds. The jqx.base.css should be included before the second CSS file. In order to set a theme, you need to do the following:

• Include the theme's CSS file after jqx.base.css.
  The following code example adds the 'energyblue' theme.

  
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="../../jqwidgets/styles/jqx.base.css" type="text/css" />
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="../../jqwidgets/styles/jqx.energyblue.css" type="text/css" />
