Custom Themes
I found a tutorial on how to make custom themes so it's basically CSS but the styling is different because it seems like jQuery mobile uses a lot of gradients or glossy looking buttons and such. Luckily it's easy to make styles with online tools otherwise making things like gradients would be awful. There were also a lot of other helpful resources listed but I only looked at the gradient tool. I tried to make a custom list style but it wasn't working but I did manage to make a custom footer. Although, it was a little bigger than the original and the links weren't styled.

Great links! Keep in mind this really isn't different from CSS, it *is* CSS. It just has a focus on really fancy styling that we haven't done before. Truthfully, we really don't need to focus on that aspect now, either. There is so much to learn. I would say we should keep the styling clean and simple, and focus on the underlying technologies being used for now. We can always ramp up our artfulness when the time comes.
ReplyDeleteThere are three basic languages all browsers can natively consume (speak, if you will): 1. HTML 2. CSS 3. JavaScript.
That's why there is so much emphasis on using these tools to solve so many different kinds of problems (if the only tool you have is a hammer, everything begins to look like a nail - see the Law of Instrument http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_the_instrument). It is compelling, really, since it solves so many deployment problems. If you solve a problem with these tools, your solution can immediately run without modification on all platforms everywhere.
