The Dialog Demo page, dialogs.html
Dialogs are useful when you need to get the user's attention and don't want to give the
impression that they are moving to a new page. Properly used, they'll give your user a
nice, polished experience.
Now that you've added some personal touches with transitions and dialogs, let's revisit
a topic I mentioned earlier: A custom theme.
Rolling Your Own Theme with ThemeRoller
Let's face it: creating a theme is not an easy proposition. There are a lot of things to
consider, and while Apple has done a lot to make a somewhat standard look to mobile
pages, you don't want our Android applications looking exactly like iPhone clones, do
you? (Actually, maybe you do, but hey—it's always nice to have options!) Thankfully, the
jQuery Mobile team has created an awesome web application of their own called
ThemeRoller (Figure 7-13), which lets you create a theme quickly and painlessly.
