Question: xPage locales

When you open a view NOT through an xPage, Domino shows you date/times in the format specified by the locale of your browser Accept-Language header.

So I built an xPage with a view container, which of course has view columns. One of the view columns is a date/time value. Regardless of the browser’s Accept-Language header, the view column is always shown using the server’s locale formatting.

Digging around, I found that you can override this on the column by drilling down in the column’s “Advanced Properties”:

You can set the locale there, and voila - things take on the formatting of the locale.

My question is - does this really have to be done for every column, control, etc. on the xPage? Can you simply define the locale on the xPage and everything else on it will inherit that (unless specifically overridden)? Or can this be done with a Theme somehow?

It seems way un-RAD to have to slog through locale settings of every control we add.
