Web app theme
January 18th, 2009A simple theme for web apps. Fork it on github and use it for your cool applications!
[UPDATE]
Like I wrote in the comments, this layout is inspired from cool applications like lighthouse, basecamp, and others. I love those applications, I love their layouts, and it’s difficult to not be inspired by them.

yeah mattly, wonder where I’ve seen that before? hum…
12:33 pm on January 18th, 2009:
it’s so beauty

Mattly, Will, I love lighthouse theme and themes of others apps like that. I think is the current style for cool applications. I tried without copying, but it’s hard to not be inspired from cool theme like that

Wow that looks really neat! Gonna check it out later!

This will be immensely useful to me.
Thanks a lot.

Just a nice and visually great layout, ready to be used !

I tip my hat to you sir!
This is something that gets in the way of most of my development projets. With this place, I can now focus on getting the functionality of the project in place without worrying about the look and feel.

This is a great piece of work. About the similarities with Lighthouse I think they’re just random similarities.
4:12 pm on January 20th, 2009:
Wow…do more of this please!
12:16 am on January 22nd, 2009:
Loved it! I’m already using with rails and it’s great!
Many thanks.

Fantastic! thanks a lot man. xD

Awesome! Is there any possibility to fix the round corners issue in IE7?
3:12 pm on February 2nd, 2009:
Gustavo, just for now I want to focus on the layout part, but if you want you can create your theme using images for that!

Hi Andrea,
I’ve forked your repo and begin to use it (http://github.com/jlecour/web-app-theme)
I’ve been using some grid layouts like Blueprint and 960.gs and I think it could be smart to inspire from them for some flexible columns inside the main content, not just for forms.
I also would like to add the possibility to have a full width main content.
Let me know if you’re already working on something similar, we could join our effort.
Thank you very much for your work, it’s very useful.

@Gustavo
Round corner in IE7
I suggest Rico javascript
http://demos.openrico.org/demos/effect_round
I know it is an hack but given the fact that IE is also an hack it shouldn’t matter …

This is great. How do I use the rails generators? Thanks for doing this.

Very nice

Very nice dude! I’ll be sure to use this, especially for backends.
8:43 pm on March 26th, 2009:
Very interesting
12:32 pm on May 13th, 2009:
Andrea, could you please add some more documentation on how to use it? It took me a while to understand how to make use of the generators: I know put everything into ~/.rails to have the generators available. “script/generate theme” does work for me, but I really do not understand how to make use of “script/generate themed”. I tried “script/generate themed FilesController” but it always tells me “undefined method ‘columns’ for FilesController::Class”.
I just do not have any clue how to make use of this generator.

Yes Thomas, I’m going to write a post soon

Looks great – I would use it if I knew how – if you added some instructions for us beginners I’m sure a lot more people would use this.
Good work!
