jQuery Mobile base theme (5 swatches) integrated with LessCSS

jQuery Mobile theme with LessCSS

This project aims to integrate LessCSS with jQuery Mobile base theme as downloaded from theme roller. The project is actually based on jQuery Mobile version 1.3.1.

It compiles with both LessElements and LessHAT. Conditional browser vendor prefixes is an idea stolen from LessHAT.

Configuration

File global.less let you define which browser vendors prefixes you want to include and global variables for your jQuery Mobile application.

File app.less let you import all swatches you need (default: a,b,c,d,e), jQuery Mobile mixins and global variables. Just edit app.less to import more or less options (e.g. a second mixins file, other swatches of few swatches).

Every swatch file (e.g. swatch-a.less) includes two sections: swatch variables (colors, dimensions, fonts) and css rules. You can edit everything you need to fit your application look and feel.

How to manually create new swatch

If you don't know what a theme swatch means in jQuery Mobile, read here.

If you need to add a swatch (e.g. called f) simply:

1. copy and paste swatch-a.less (inside themes directory) renaming it as swatch-f.less
2. open swatch-f.less with your preferred editor and:
   • search for @a- and replace with @f-
   • search for .ui-bar-a and replace with .ui-bar-f
   • search for .ui-body-a and replace with .ui-body-f
   • search for .ui-overlay-a and replace with .ui-overlay-f
   • search for .ui-btn-up-a and replace with .ui-btn-up-f
   • search for .ui-btn-hover-a and replace with .ui-btn-hover-f
   • search for .ui-btn-down-a and replace with .ui-btn-down-f
3. change what you need and save swatch-f.less
4. add @import "swatch-f.less"; line to app.less
5. compile theme.less to theme.css
