Team, I'd like to bring in Gaurav's responsive (Bootstrap) theme[1] into
trunk and have it replace the "Brushed Metal" theme. I've plugged it
into trunk and it looks quite nice. Roller 5.1 should ship with at
least one responsive theme and Gaurav's work seems to fit our needs
pretty well. Here's an idea of what it looks like:
https://web-gmazza.rhcloud.com/test/ . The "archives" and comment
entry fields are particularly well-designed. I put in a pull request
earlier today to Gaurav to fix the search entry box.
As for Brushed Metal, it's at least 7 years old and none of our users
[2] are using it today. Brushed Metal features a narrow text column,
good if you're posting text-only articles and you want tall/narrow
paragraphs that are easier to read than the wide column offered by the
source-code-friendly Basic and Rolling themes. But anyone looking for a
narrow text column is going to want a responsive theme anyway, which
Brushed Metal can't provide. So I think Gaurav's theme would be a good
replacement for it. WDYT?
Regards,
Glen
