Aristo is a great theme - I wish more designers would do custom jQuery UI themes.

startup idea?

I would happily pay for ultra high quality themes, but I would have to be able to distribute them with my open source project.

Never noticed this before: the auto-complete appears under the slider handles (Chrome 10). Shall test for other browsers in a bit... edit: Chrome 12 Canary: same as Chrome 10 IE9 beta: Handles on top, buttons look fine, though no text shadow. " " are poorly anti-aliased. IE9 beta in compatibility mode: auto-complete on top (?), but buttons (aside from href) are full-width. " " are poorly anti-aliased. FF4 rc: Handles…

Safari 5 has the same issue as chrome

Similar behavior between them is expected, both are based on webkit.

This actually inspired me to see how nice of a theme you could do with ThemeRoller alone:

It's not great but I think it came out pretty good.

It's actually pretty easy to make better jQuery themes.

Chrome OS X here, clicking buttons inside a modal dialog sends me to the top of the page (away from where the modal dialog is).

The framing stuff around tabs is SO BOTHERSOME.

As a warning, a lot of the controls seemed pretty broken on the iPhone. The auto-complete field totally screwed up Safari (couldn't de-select it), and the sliders were impossible to drag.

Solid, goes to show the power of the jQuery UI theming framework. This uses even less images and more CSS3 than the last CSS3 implementation of Aristo, which wasn't built for jQuery UI: http://dtrejo.github.com/aristo/ Specifically, this one uses inner shadows to generate things like the slider bars without background-image, and most everything else is CSS3 gradients. The blog post calls jQuery UI's default themes go…

Ooh, I like the pulsing glow effect on those buttons ( http://dtrejo.github.com/aristo/ ). Wonder if that could be ported to the linked jQuery UI theme.

I don't see why not, it can be done entirely in CSS with a box shadow: http://www.css3.info/preview/box-shadow/ and an animation: http://www.the-art-of-web.com/css/css-animation/

Hmm, curious why user-select: none; wasn’t applied to these buttons. Not sure why you would want to let people select text on UI elements e.g. by double-clicking a button — feels less “native” to see selections made on UI elements.
