Edward Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I was wondering the last couple of days why the bootstrap pages wouldn't load on github, now i see they have released a new Bootstrap 3. http://getbootstrap.com/ The old docs for Bootstrap V2.3.2 are available at: http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/ From what i see so far i prefer the older version, i hope those buttons they have a beta, they are terribly ugly. Seriously i could make these buttons with my eyes closed http://getbootstrap.com/css/#buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Yeah...that's part of this new trend towards "flat" user interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 Oh, i thought things were flat enough already, why make them more flat, we are being robotized. Well i guess when there is one trend there is room for the opposite as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathon Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Apples iOS 7 is now flat, non bevelled buttons. I quite like them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 Yeah they do look good there, but there is a background color also to help them as apposed to white. Do you think those using flat buttons will make your web site more popular? Right now have coded too much to go back and change everything. Jonathon, when do you plan on finishing your website? I am trying to get most of mine done by the end of the year, i am getting much faster in Yii now, pages are going up by every couple of days now. I loved the ease of use of CListView, it's extremely useful. (Just another quick note, i just swapped the Bootstrap 2 css and js files with Bootstrap 3 files. My site looked much better with Bootstrap 2, that's from my desktop). I was thinking about this a little more and thought if you had 3d glass(transparent) computer screens css representation would be good. But since our screens are basically 2D, we require bevelling to help add depth to our web pages. On the account of mobile devices flat is fine as they are small already and we just need details to unable us to operate them. So CSS style really applies to the size of the display and whether it is 2D or 3D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathon Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I like iOS7 style, wasn't too enamoured with Bootstrap 3, just noticed they were different. Not sure my website, I suppose similar to you, maybe slightly sooner. Yeah, i've enjoyed Clistview and CGridview a lot. I need to improve my knoweldge of JS as a whole but around the matter of AJAX in Yii. It's passable at best currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 Cool, well i hope we can get our websites done to a standard to go online as soon as possible, i guess all the fun for us will start then. I try to code everyday but I find myself getting bored with it and need days off to get my motivation back. Btw are you located in UK? I am from Cambridge, UK.
