This is an "alternative build" of the awesome Valo theme introduced in Vaadin 7.3. It can be used as a direct replacement in your Vaadin app for the artifact com.vaadin:vaadin-themes.
Relevant changes to the basic Valo theme:
- Loads FontAwesome font from bootstrapcdn
- loads faster (most likely cached by your browsers) and spends less bandwidth on your server
- Loads Open Sans font from Google Fonts
- loads faster (most likely cached by your browsers) and spends less bandwidth on your server
- Leaves out heavy font files from the jar file
- saves ~ 7 MB of your war file size
- deploys faster
- Leaves out older legacy themes
##Pom dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>org.peimari</groupId>

As stated above, you can also remove (or exclude ) the dependency to com.vaadin:vaadin-themes.
Builds distributed via Vaadin Directory.
- CDN distribution of the whole theme, with separate even slimmer module that just adds details about the location of the theme
- Couple of alternative pre-built Valo variations:
- dawn-pro - smaller fonts, smaller margins
