Kiandra is pleased to announce the open sourcing of a jQuery UI theme we think you’re going to love. We have been using the “Delta” theme for the better part of a year and made the decision to share it with the community. We’re hoping this results in plenty of feedback as well as the continued development of the theme. It’s free for commercial, personal and educational use as part of the MIT or GPL license.
If anything, we think that this theme can act as a starting point for other smart cookies to create their own visually engaging jQuery UI themes. You can fork this theme over on the GitHub repository.
Features:
- Open source – Free for commercial and personal use alike under an MIT license.
- Retina ready – The theme makes use of CSS3 gradients and some @2x images to ensure it’s retina display friendly.
- Dark and light friendly – The vibrant colour scheme means “Delta” works on both light and dark backgrounds. Change the toggle in the top right hand corner of the demo to see it in action.
- OS dependent modals – Close ‘x’ and button placement inherits from your operating system, using an extra Modernizr test.
Support & Testing:
- IE7, IE8 & IE9
But rounded corners and drop shadows will degrade depending on support - Chrome
- Firefox
- Safari
- Opera



Slick. The auto-detection of the close button on the modal popup is a nice touch.
Thank you guys. Finally something that is not only “nice” but useful. Most of recent frameworks forget that in the world not everyone uses only webkit browser…
wow! beautiful!!!
Nice one. I like it ;]]
Great work!!!
Radio buttons not working.
Thanks to everyone for the kind words.
@Gurkan: Howdy, yes we saw an issue filed on GitHub. We’re trying to find some time to fix that and the other suggestions made. Thanks for the report!
Nice work! Is it compatible with BOOTSTRAP? Has anyone tried running Delta and Bootstrap in the same UI?
Thanks!
@Matt: Hi, we haven’t tried it ourselves, but given the fact that the class names are all different, it won’t plug in easily. Even if you did a find and replace on the styles I’m not sure how well they would play together. Cheers, Tait.
