Probably gonna leave that to someone else at some point later in the future when it's done.
I do plan to provide both a light (current) and a 'black' theme.

This is awesome, Marco. I'm using some jQuery Mobile UI components in my app, but it doesn't look quite right and is super slow. This looks amazing, and I think the slider is the only thing I'm using you haven't "skinned" yet. I will definitely be keeping an eye on this thread, and looking to help if I can.

It will look exactly like the black widgets that the PlayBook already has ![]()

WOW! This is ridiculously impressive! I remember you mentioning on the forums volunteering to make QNX UI components, and then this thread shows up! Great work Marco, I'll be using these in my next webworks project! kudos!!

Thanks! I'm really happy with all the excitement around this project. Definitely makes me want to keep going with it!
More to come soon. I'm sort of ill AND kind of busy at the moment but I'll continue soon by finishing the select dropdown (which is actually one of the harder ones) and add more widgets.
Stay tuned!

Hey, this project looks fantastic. I have been working on another WebWorks project trying to mirror some UI components of the BlackBerry Playbook native look and feel. I was working on recreating the Options screen from the Browser (and similarly the primary options screen) using only web technologies. I did use some images for the noise and icons, but its largely CSS as well.
I haven't gotten mine into a public repo yet, but I am excited to see what is happening in the WebWorks arena. All the JS I have written so far is JS Framework agnostic, so it should plug easily into other projects.
I hadn't gotten around to themeing the controls yet, so seeing your work is fantastic. I see you currently offer a "free with credit" license for your controls. Would you consider releasing it under a more formal open source license? Ideally you could release using the same license as WebWorks itself (Apache). It definetely would encourage more use and participation in contributing to your project. I am planning on releasing my efforts here as dual MIT licensed or Apache Licensed Open Source.

@Doug - Out if curiousity, how did you do the curved shadow in CSS? I thought it was an interesting AIR feature, but haven't had time to look into it.

I'm really not an expert in all these different licenses. Maybe someone can explain to me in layman's terms what the difference is?
Is asking to get credited 'too restrictive' ?!
