    Is it possible to specify the theme when embedding TinyMCE in a custom manager module via the "invokeEvent" method below?

    $event_output = $modx->invokeEvent("OnRichTextEditorInit", array('editor'=>$modx->config['which_editor'], 'elements'=>array('tvmailMessage')));


    Specifically I would like to use the Simple theme.

        It seems at the moment that the TinyMCE Bridge code only supports the theme selected in the Configuration, the "Introtext" theme specifically for the Introtext, and "Inline" and "webuser" themes for when the RTE is used on the front end.

        I can't figure out how to make TinyMCE use anything other than the theme specified in Configuration when using the plugin in my own custom Module via the "InvokeEvent" method above.

          Question: which MODX Extra is supplying your TinyMCE?

            I'm creating a custom Module and using the stock standard TinyMCE4 that comes with MODX 1.2.x

            The plugin is labelled:
            4.3.7.2 Javascript WYSIWYG editor

              AH, this seems you are working with Evolution.

              I thought otherwise and would have recommended my Extra for your project.
