Hi Cedric, Gergely, I'm new to Tryton and have setup both server and GTK client. I'm looking for a web client and have no idea about the jQuery UI you are talking in this thread. Could you please share the details? I'm looking to not only using it, but also contributing as much as I can. Thanks for help.
