Theme Usage & Style Guide

About Theme Meta

Could it get any more meta than this? It's the RailsThemes.com design, for your duplicitous pleasure!

When we decided to do a responsive redesign of RailsThemes.com, we thought: Hey, let's show 'em how it's done. Let's show 'em what a theme can do!

So here it is, Theme Meta!

The base theme is a delightful blue/green scheme with a responsive grid.

About RailsThemes

All of our themes take advantage of the Rails 3.1+ asset pipeline. As such, you'll find our generated files in the following locations:

Directory Structure

Naming Conventions

Most theme files are either namespaced (e.g. railsthemes_themename_filename.ext) or in a railsthemes specific folder (e.g. railsthemes_themename/)

The exceptions to this are images and standard css/js assets from elsewhere (e.g. html5shiv).

JQuery UI

All themes include an appropriate jQuery UI theme.

Rails Version Support

Our themes are designed for Rails 3.1+
