jQuery Mobile provides a powerful theming framework that allows you to customize color schemes provided by jQuery Mobile. By using jQuery Mobile ThemeRoller, you can develop a customized theme for your application and can download your custom CSS file and include it in your application.
By default jQuery Mobile theme comes with five different color swatches, named as: a, b, c, d and e. You can apply a particular theme on HTML elements by using data-theme attribute as given below:
<div data-role="page"> <div data-role="header" data-theme="a"> <h1>Theme a</h1> </div> <div data-role="header" data-theme="b"> <h1>Theme b</h1> </div> <div data-role="header" data-theme="c"> <h1>Theme c</h1> </div> <div data-role="header" data-theme="d"> <h1>Theme d</h1> </div> <div data-role="header" data-theme="e"> <h1>Theme e</h1> </div> </div>
Different jQuery Mobile Transition Effects
jQuery Mobile provides various transition effects for going from one page to the another page. jQuery mobile provides this transition effect with the help of CSS3 3D Transforms. Hence, to achieve this, your browsers must support CSS3 3D transform. The various transition effects are listed below:
