Highstock title fontsize using theme not being applied

[garybrain]

Hi, I noticed that the Highstock (v4 master) title font-size is not being applied when using a theme.

Following contains a theme, with highchart and highstock charts and the highstock title is not being applied it stays at the default 16px.

This is not isolated to just the fontsize of the title, several other settings of stockcharts are ignored when trying to set them through themes.

The problem originates from https://github.com/highslide-software/highcharts.com/blob/highstock-v2.0.0/js/parts/StockChart.js#L73 where a set of options are merged in on chart initialization, thus overriding the default options as set with setOptions.

Workaround

Instead of using Highcharts.setOptions, merge the theme into the individual chart options: http://jsfiddle.net/highcharts/B6EV7/3/

I had tried this method nearlly the same as "merge the theme into the individual chart options" is issue #3029 .

Questions:

1. If the user config for xAxis or yAxis is Array, above method doesn't work.

   • http://jsfiddle.net/B6EV7/4/ (yAxis is array, not work)
   • http://jsfiddle.net/B6EV7/5/ (yAxis is obect, work)

2. As there are hundreds of usage of highstock in my platform, it's a bad method to do extra update after updating the highstock to latest version.

   I'd rather update the highstock.src.js to implement the same thing in Highcharts.StockChart = function (options, callback) { as a global updating, not each usage.

   But i really expect the team can fix this bug in next version.

We use setOptions to set global defaults, and merge in individual options for specific chart changes. Even then it still doesn't work.
