Description
Originally by sascha.broich
Currently it is not possible to give an Action a style.
This would be a nice improvement for then the context menu entries in Table and Tree could be customized by CSS.
We use a sprite for the action icons and need for this style classes on the context actions.
For our old Vaadin 6.4 I have patched the Vaadin code. But for our upgrade to Vaadin 7 I would rather not have to patch the Vaadin code itself for it is then hard to update to the newest.

Research direction
Start by locating the Action API and the Table and Tree context-menu entry rendering. Trace how action entries are generated and how CSS classes are currently assigned, then determine where a style name could be exposed. Done means actions can carry a style name that is applied to the corresponding context-menu entries without patching the framework.
