Vastly Improved Theming System

jQTouch now uses Sass and Compass for its theming, making the stylesheets way more maintainable and most importantly, way more flexible. The image above show what I was able to do in a few minutes, just changing a few simple variables. Additionally, we’ve gone through and replaced all of the images with CSS: Even things like the default “carbon fiber” header are created in CSS, so it can shift colors just as easily as the rest of your theme. A special thanks as well to Drew Wilson, whose research helped in creating the CSS-based back button — which again, is built completely in CSS and changes color with the rest of your theme.

You can see the start of the new theming documentation here.
