SmartClient Mobile skin

[claudiobosticco]

We use the Graphite skin for our applications, because is one of the more refined and recent skins and also because it's well suited for our company colors (black, white and a little of yellow).

Now we have to adapt (part of) one of our applications to be used on the iPad.

In the docs you recommend switching to the Mobile skin, but after seeing it, it seems much less refined than Graphite, also it doesn't seem to use css3 nor sprites. Last but not least, the blue color isn't suited to our company colors :-(

Also, trying the Mobile skin in the showcase, the tabset samples don't have the documented behaviour, at least the Orientation, Align, Add and Remove, Closeable Tabs, User Editable Titles samples.

So I'm asking you: is it an 'older' skin which will be refined in the future?
also, do you think it's easier to modify the Mobile skin to suit our colors scheme, or to modify the Graphite skin to work better for the iPad?

The "Mobile" skin is designed to be a close match to iOS6. With the radically changes in iOS7, Graphite
is now closer to the native look and feel than "Mobile", and a closer match to other devices' native UI
as well (Android, Windows Phone).

So, we would recommend sticking with the Graphite skin for your mobile interface, and making small
modifications as necessary.

Out of curiosity, what kinds of modifications did you have in mind? Just increasing the sizes of certain
controls like buttons and tabs?

Ok, thanks for your advice.

Actually for now I'm testing only with the xcode simulator, not real physical device.

I think that I'll increase size of buttons and tabs ad you said, and maybe sectionHeaders (I have controls in them) and cell height of grids (I have clickable fields of type 'icon').
Actually I have the option to change the UI, so I could also try to avoid the controls which appear more difficult to use with the touch screen.

In the future I'll try also SmartGWT.Mobile (iPhone will be the target), but for now our target is SmartClient on Ipad.
Do you plan to make a new 'Mobile' skin (maybe a modified 'Graphite')?
