Nope, it means it deals with transitions, replacing href="page.html" by an ajax call that get the page content, add it to the dom and make a sliding effect between actual page and this new one, deal with back button history array, form processing,........ all that make iUI that damn easy to use. CSS is there for what it should: colors, font size, background, padding, margin, css3 effects (where JS do the same as a fallback if css3 is not supported - specially for sliding transitions), .... graphical stuffs. > 2.Moreover it is written: > "Line 6 and 7 are the CSS styles.

Even worse, you'll see some !important at some weird places. That's because theme support was is new in 0.40 and its iui.css code still contains some code that works good for default iOS theme, but not with others... so creating a theme is a nightmare: you always have to check if a padding isn't declare somewhere in both files about your colors, padding, float, height, ... In 0.50, i've cut 'n paste all those iOS specifics to its own default-theme.css so now you can start from a blank canvas when you create yours. This makes iui.css only contains selectors, transitions, ... kind of default things to at least make it works. But all the rest has been transfered to the theme file.
