		.iconFontStyle(12px, #ACACAC);
		.displaySize(block, 24px, 24px);
		line-height: 24px;

.z-north,
.z-south,
.z-west,
.z-center,
.z-east {
	border: 1px solid #E3E3E3;
	/* omitted */

	&-header {
		.fontStyle(@baseTitleFontFamily, 14px, bold, #555555);
		height: 40px;
		border-bottom: 1px solid #E3E3E3;
		padding: 8px 8px 7px;
		line-height: 24px;
		.verGradient(#FFFFFF, #FFFFFF); /* no gradient, pass the same color arguments for the function */
		/* omitted */
	}

	&-collapsed {
		.size(40px, 40px);
		border: 1px solid #E3E3E3;
		padding: 8px;
		background: #FFFFFF;
		/* omitted */
	}

	&-caption {
		height: 40px;
	}
}

• Modify Splitter (North, South, East, West and Center) color and size.

.z-east,
.z-west,
.z-north,
.z-south {
	&-splitter {
		.size(8px, 8px);
		.horGradient(#EBEBEB, #EBEBEB); /* no gradient, pass the same color arguments for the function */
		/* omitted */

		// splitter-button
		&-button {
			color: #ACACAC;
			border: 0; /* no border */
			/* omitted */
		}
		&-button-disabled {
			border: 0;
		}
	}

	&-icon {

	border-left: 1px solid #E3E3E3;
	border-right: 1px solid #E3E3E3;
	.verGradient(#EBEBEB, #EBEBEB); /* no gradient, pass the same color arguments for the function */
	/* omitted */
}

/* don't need Ellipsis icons  */
.z-west-icon.z-icon-ellipsis-vertical,
.z-east-icon.z-icon-ellipsis-vertical {
	display: none;
}
.z-north-icon.z-icon-ellipsis-horizontal,
.z-south-icon.z-icon-ellipsis-horizontal {
	display: none;
}

Final result

Additional Customization

The collapsed position is decide by LayoutRegion.getCmargins(). Therefore, it is not possible to change the position of collpased area by CSS. However, it can still be customized by overriding widget bind_ function and set the margins like the following.

<borderlayout width="600px" height="400px">
	<east title="East" size="20%" collapsible="true" splittable="true">
		<attribute w:name="bind_"><![CDATA[
		function() {
			this.$bind_();
			this.setCmargins("0, 3, 0, 0"); //top, left, right, bottom
		}
		]]></attribute>
	</east>
</borderlayout>
