These types of improvements to iUI should either be submitted as Mercurial changesets or patches to existing iUI files. (If you really don't know how to do either, you can attach the entire changed file to the Issue in Google Code) For styling changes like these it would be great to see iUI themes that can just be dropped in to an existing (0.40-based) project. > > On Tue, Oct 13, 2009 at 12:24 AM, anmldr <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > It would reduce the overhead ever so slightly but you could easily > change > the looks of your apps in seconds by changing the "skin" simply by > changing the CSS and you would not have to create new images. > > > Model, View, Controller. It doesn't have to be as advanced as MVC -- the theme system gives a good deal of flexibility and being able to change an existing theme without using image editors is a definite advantage of the CSS gradient approach. > (Sean Gilligan got to be just a little impressed that I know that term :P) Duly noted ;-) > MVC is what you just described, and it's the practice of removing the > HTML from the CSS from the JavaScript, in our case anyway with this > project. Separating the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is a best practice, but MVC usually involves more than just that level of separation. > I would really like to see an iUI that can work without javascript > being present (I know this is blasphemy Sean, but hear me out.) The > idea being, that you should be able to submit forms, without the use > of JavaScript Obviously, certain things like slide transitions and even orientation detection can't be done properly without JavaScript, but the CSS of iUI can be used for simple pages without including iui.js -- I'd certainly give a good look at any patches to iUI that improved it's ability to be used in completely static pages without detracting from its features or reliability in the more typical configuration. (We should probably start a new thread - here or in iui-developers - if we want to discuss this particular issue further as it's largely independent of the subject of CSS gradients.) -- Sean --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iPhoneWebDev" group.
