Anything changed With JQuery Themeroller?

[Neil Porter]

I've tried to roll my own theme today.

I noticed that the files included in the zip file that I've downloaded from JQuery look a little different to what I've seen in the past, and it looks like the query-ui.css file no longer has the version number in it.

I've taken this file, and the images folder, and I've created a new subfolder in the themes folder and added the files as I've done in the past.

I recompile my app, and make sure gzipall.bat runs.

I get all the extra files appearing that the gzipall.bat creates, so everything is looking good, but when I run my web server and specify that it should use my new theme at runtime, the theme just does't look anything like I created on the JQuery site.

Has anyone else seen anything similar recently?

Regards,

Neil.

I haven't noticed anything myself - but perhaps send me the theme you've made and I can take a look at it. (it contains a URL to re-create the theme at Themeroller, so hopefully I should be able to spot the differences you are seeing - or better yet highlight one or two things that you've noticed...)

cheers

Rather than download the latest version, I downloaded the nearest to described in the docs, jquery-ui-1.10.4.custom, which does look more like described.

I followed the instructions in the Orlando Video, which when I re-compiled did NOT do the xcopy... but I carried on anyway, needless to say I got a very BASIC style (no css), so I tried the 'extra bits' in the documentation... the GZIPALL  (run in may base app folder), and copied the 'rolled' images to the \web\styles\images... STILL no joy.

I guess I've missed a stage.

Any pointers?

Thanks

Hi Bill
Just ran a test on the below which works
If you download as version 1.11.3 and extract the file then rename the extracted folder to what you are calling the theme. I downloaded chocmint (because of the contrast) and thus renamed the jquery-ui-1.11.3.custom folder to chocmint.
I would suggest you test this is web example 3 since there is the runtime settings procedure there allowing you to test without changing your webserver settings
Copy the chocmint folder into the web\themes folder and generate or compile the application,
From what I can see there are files and folders not required but I haven't touched any of them.
You don't need to rename any files.

Just a heads up/update
I found that I was getting a jump on the screen as I moved from field to field in my login form. Also in my browse I didn't have the bar that highlighted the selected record.
Looking at  the gzipall.bat in the themes section I see that two files from the theme folder are added to theme.fat.css. The jquery-ui.css exists in that folder but the nettalk-ui.css doesn't.
I copied that file from one of the other themes (shoestrap3) into my them folder and ran gzipall again.
Both problems went away.
