Discussion

  1. Your custom theme looks much better than any of the default :) Dojo should adopt it.

  2. @Christoph Pojer: I believe they’re going to; it’s going to be named “SitePen”. If I can put together a decent color palette, I can create a MooTools theme as well.

  3. @David Walsh: What mootools extension do you use for charts? milkchart? Just curious. I have dabbled in Dojo and jQuery and have nothing against them, I just haven’t found a reason not to use mootools yet :)

Wrap your code in <pre class="{language}"></pre> tags, link to a GitHub gist, JSFiddle fiddle, or CodePen pen to embed!
