Correct me if I'm wrong, but 5.4 doesn't provide default CSS. It uses hardcoded bootstrap HTML/CSS instead.
It could produce default HTML (or even XML) without CSS at all and provide default bootstrap module that converts this markup to bootstrap - voila - you have default CSS, but also a more or less stable API for 3rd party CSS frameworks. I'm sure you know that adopting modern CSS framework is not that simple as updating CSS rules, it also includes DOM rewrite. And as far as I know 5.4 isn't backward compatible here, so overriding CSS and rewriting DOM in a T5.3 app won't help during upgrade. You mentioned component replacement, but that's not an option too. Try to replace the t:Form component and form fields - that's not a trivial task. So that's a real issue to our app. On Fri, Dec 12, 2014 at 3:48 PM, Thiago H de Paula Figueiredo < thiag...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Fri, 12 Dec 2014 05:24:33 -0200, Dmitry Gusev <dmitry.gu...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> So I highly support Barry's suggestions on no framework specific html and >> css. >> > > Easier said than done.
