• wiggle.gif is used for the red underline effect

Implement Your Theme

To implement your theme - just set the CSSTheme property of either the SpellCheckButton or SpellAsYouType Class to the name of you theme (its folder name)

An example theme - "Bright" has been implemented as an example for you.

$mySpell->CSSTheme = "my_themes_directory_name";
