Metro UI - anyone?

[peterH]

Has anyone tried Metro UI CSS with NetTalk?

Looks like it's build on top of jQuery so I assume it to be integratable in some way.

It looks very nice and a bit more web'ish than jQuery alone so if someone has some experience and would like to share before I wet my feet it'll be much appreciated.

This webinar covered using the metro ui for normal Clarion apps but Brahn may be the person to contact

You need some kid with good knowledge of HTML and CSS and it comes out of the box.

I am working on responsive design and something like "cool and fresh" but not MetroUI.

I think or maybe suggetion that NT need to adopt a good UI framework like dotnetnuke or joomla because this portals have a thousand of templates(skins), why reinvent the wheel?

jquery UI is good but if you search in a web is very little that found compared with dotnetnuke..

It's probably worth pointing out that making a JqueryUI theme is not hard. What's hard is the actual design - ie colors used and so on. Once you have a design cloning it for Jquery UI is trivial.

While one can look to other systems for inspiration, it's not possible to just make NetTalk apps work with a Jooma theme. That's because those themes simply don't cover all the things wee need, and they're designed with a specific set of HTML in mind.

In other words the CSS follows what the framework _does._ Not the other way around.

Unfortunately most CSS is designed for static sites, not web apps at all, so it's good for inspiration - but less useful for "plugging in".
