Light theme for Android

[Chris Engelmann]

I'm very new to using Kendo-UI, and still considering making the switch from jQuery Mobile. I'm wandering if it's possible to have a "light" theme for Android, as opposed to the default "very dark." I saw one post about a themeroller for Mobile in the works, but is it possible to change between some built in themes, or something like that?

Hi Chris,

No, we don't have a light theme directly available as a skin, however creating one will be very easy with the Mobile Theme Builder we're making (it is easy even now, as most styling needs only background colors to be changed). Here's an example I've done with it, based on the Kendo Overview Demo:
.km-android .km-view .km-content {
    background-color: rgb(229, 229, 229);
    color: rgb(51, 51, 51);
}
.km-android .km-view .km-content .km-listgroupinset .km-group-title .km-text {
    color: rgb(51, 51, 51);
}
.km-android .km-view .km-tabstrip .km-button {
    background-color: rgb(204, 204, 204);
}
.km-android .km-view .km-navbar {
    background-color: rgb(204, 204, 204);
}
.km-android .km-view .km-navbar .km-button .km-text {
    color: rgb(51, 51, 51);
}
.km-android .km-listview .km-list {
    border-top-color: rgb(153, 153, 153);
}
.km-android .km-view .km-content .km-list > li {
    border-color: rgb(153, 153, 153);
}
.km-android .km-view .km-content .km-listgroup .km-group-title .km-text {
    color: #333;
}
.km-android .km-view .km-content .km-list > li .km-switch .km-switch-container {
    background-color: #b2b2b2;
}

However you will need the latest styling to use it, so I'm attaching it to this post.

That looks really nice, it would be even better if there were a few skins created to see just how great they can look

Thanks,
Marty
