Bootstrap (from Twitter) & XOOPS

I believe many people would agree with me that XOOPS lacks a UI standard. The so-called old standard (based on table) is mostly depreciated. And different module developers create layout using different markups, which makes styling really difficult. I would suggest that XOOPS should have a new UI standard, where developers can simply copy & paste code snippets to create UI elements and designers can have a standard way to styling those markups.

One of the most popular UI element standard is Bootstrap from Twitter. It has just enough markups and the style is quite general. I suggest that we should create a XOOPS UI Standard based on Bootstrap, so ease the pain of both developers and designers.

What do you guys think?

Absolutely LOVE IT!

Unless there is something better out there, Bootstrap should be in XOOPS 2.6

I hope, our new Design team can take this task and make it happen. Who would like to join and help with it?

BTW - would it make sense to merge it somehow with http://jqueryui.com/, so we could take advantage of the ThemeChanger there?

I think too that it will make a great add to xoops.
it will give a big push to xoops GUI

I was pro the 960-style. But this is well documented and way much more versatile. (I actually liked the 960-style because it has less options). Giving both designers and programmers much more flexibility. Go for it!

p.s. I really hate it when I see a typo and want to correct it and xoops tells me to take a break for 30 secs.. Any idea what I can do in 30 secs

p.p.s. Insraq, I also think you should get a nice black hat, like from 'Singing in the rain' or heck even the Live performance hat of Billy Jean ;)
