I am trying to create north, west, center and south regioned layout for the viewport of my application with some troubles.
What I currently have can be viewed at http://www.petterson-clor.com/labs/ext_labs/
1. I want the west region to have a a search utility on top of the tree navigation menu like this: http://www.petterson-clor.com/labs/ext_labs/images/west_region_objects.gif
2. How can I make the north region retain the page's blue background or one I specify instead of the plain white color I currently have.
3. How can I make the west region collapsable like how it is with the API Docs application instead of dragging to a size.
4. I am actually trying to migrate an existing YUI based application to use pure Ext but was asked to maintain layout and structure, I built the application sometime ago before we discovered Ext. How can I use the Ext gray theme.
