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

startup idea?

G'day guys, the creator of this jQuery UI theme speaking. I'm working on this very idea, but I'm so very busy. The jQuerythemes.com domain was vacant for a while too, but some bastard bought it ;)

This actually inspired me to see how nice of a theme you could do with ThemeRoller alone: http://gemdash.tumblr.com/post/3941893390/cupertino-a-jquery... It's not great but I think it came out pretty good.

The framing stuff around tabs is SO BOTHERSOME.

I agree completely! I am working on a much better variation fo this theme, but with much better layouts and without all the goofy default UI margins and padding.

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.

I believe this is an issue with jQuery UI, not this theme in particular. I remember that to get QuickFuse working on the iPad, we made a shim that wrapped the jQuery UI draggable so that it responded to touchstart, touchmove etc. events. jQuery Mobile is more suitable for these widgets if you are making a mobile-optimized app, though.

Accordion doesn't seem to work in latest Opera

Also there's a redraw issue with vertical sliders.

I already opened an Issue in github about this. Accordion is fine here. Opera 11.01, Win7.

I'm impressed everything else worked so well, Opera is usually neglected.

It looks nice and clean. A quick note though: Hitting the 'Change' button in the modal dialog does not get rid of the page overlay, making everything inaccessible. (Chrome 10)

You can, however hit 'Esc' to go back to the page. (I know, it's not how it should work, but at least you can access your page again)

Actually this button simply takes you to the top of the page. The modal is not closed but rather out of sight. If you scroll down, you will be able to close it.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Safari 5 has the same issue as chrome

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

There have been plenty of bugs in Safari which couldn't be reproduced in Chrome, and vice versa.

Also, many mobile platforms have web browsers based on WebKit. Numerous differences can be observed between how these browsers render web pages. See PPK's "The Great WebKit Comparison Table" [0].

Yes, of course. I said similar not identical. :)
