Ruby on Rails template designs

As you know, when you create a RoR application, you will have pages that need some design and added to more beauty.

I just want to ask. Should I do HTML and CSS work here? Or, are there RoR templates out there that I can embed in my application?

Thanks.

Maybe more accurately to say, "Stylesheets" for Rails applications. Or, it is just a matter of adding .css that's all.

But, you know, someone creating a RoR application, want the RoR touch on it!

I think this is what I was looking for: http://github.com/pilu/web-app-theme

Thanks a lot.

Does it give you the layouts to the pages?

Do you have an example of that?

Sounds interesting.

It generates the stylesheets and layouts, styles a lot of the standard classes and gives an amended form builder.

Do you have an example of that?

I’ve been meaning to put together a screencast sometime on it, but to be honest, it’s very simple - just following the README should get you up and running. I won’t get chance to do a screencast today, but I’ll try to do it this week if I get a chance.

Cheers,

Andy

Thanks Andy. I'll try it out. And, please keep me informed of the screencast.

There is no "RoR touch" when it comes to visual design. HTML and CSS work the same for Rails as they do for any other Web application technology.

Got you.

Thanks Marnen.
