What's new for user interface developers

Theme

Theme modules can enable and disable features such as search.

For example, in a staging or dev environment, authors need the capability to edit content in context. However, on the delivery or live site, authors should not be able to edit content. The same theme is used in both the dev environment and the live environment. The only difference is which modules are included.

Mobile Portal Theme

The WebSphere Portal Mobile Experience WebKit theme includes code for navigation and page layout designed specifically for WebKit mobile devices. The mobile theme includes:

• Sample mobile navigation widgets that follow common mobile application navigation patterns

• Sample mobile page layout that demonstrate common content interaction patterns

The mobile theme is available on the Lotus and WebSphere Portal Business Solutions Catalog.

Web Experience Factory builders

Web Experience Factory includes smartphone builders and samples for generating mobile portlets and pages. Builders include:

• Native-looking navigation tabs, lists, buttons, and controls

• Scrolling lists with display options, such as thumbnails and multiple line test with multiple styles

• Access to smartphone features, such as HTML 5, orientation, and geographical location
