[CLOSED] How to create a new Bootstrap theme for Ext.Net components

1. Is it possible to create a Bootstrap theme for Ext.Net ?
2. If Yes, what are the steps required to build a theme ?
3. Once the customized theme is ready how to apply it to existing Ext.Net application ?
4. Are there any ready-made Metro Style themes ?

To look exactly as Bootstrap components? Theoretically, I think it is possible. Generally speaking, anything that is possible with CSS should be possible with an Ext.NET theme, because an Ext.NET/ExtJS theme is a CSS file. Though, for example, the Neptune theme uses a JavaScript file as well. It sets?overrides some properties for Components on the level of JavaScript classes. In Ext.NET v2/ExtJS 4 the Neptune theme is the only one built-in with a JavaScript file.

I've not seen. Though, it might exists for ExtJS, at least. If so, you could take/buy it and adjust to Ext.NET.

Thanks for your timely support.

As you have suggested, I Could find themes @ Sencha Market

I have downloaded the above theme and tried to use in existing application by setting themePath as shown below in web.config

Code:

---

<extnet themePath="resources/css/clifton.css" />

---

But this results in
Attachment 15121

Above screen was displayed properly with theme="Gray"

Please guide.

I guess the clifton.css is not loaded. Please review the requests in a browser (IE or Chrome Developer Tools, FireFox FireBug, Fiddler). Is there any "Not Found" errors? If any, what is the URL?

I have downloaded the Ext.Net source code using premium access. Now, How to modify the SCSS files and embed into Ext.Net dll ?

SCSS files? Do you mean .css files?

and embed into Ext.Net dll

A file should be marked as Embedded Resource. Also there should be a reference in AssemblyInfo.cs. You can review the existing AssemblyInfo.cs file, there is already a lot of references.

By the way, do you really need to embed it? You might need to maintain it on each Ext.NET update. What about a separate .css file which you could put on the page?

Yes. You are correct. If we embed into .dll this will increase the maintenance. Thanks for your kind support. You may close this thread.
