Saxperience - Mobile Theme(s)
All,
For some time now, many of you have been asking me to setup a lite or mobile theme for using Saxperience on your mobile devices, whilst out and about. Whilst there are some drawbacks to doing this, today I'd like to get this setup and working.
There are many different ways this could be done - the way Ive currently chosen to do this is NOT to default to a mobile style if you browse using a mobile device, but instead you need to select the mobile theme, if you wish to use it (top left corner of page). If you do choose to use the mobile theme you can choose to go back to the normal theme by selecting the option at the bottom left of the mobile theme.
Whilst auto-recognition is quite simple to achieve, I personally find it quite frustrating when I browse to a site and get a trimmed down version. Please let me have your feedback on this. I figured having the choice would be the best way forward...
The current mobile theme is not 'that' trimmed down (which might not suit some of you). I only have an iPhone to test this on so I would appreciate your feedback using other devices. If some members would prefer a much more basic mobile theme, maybe we can have an option of two mobile themes to choose from??
Please give me some quick feedback and lets get this sorted out.
Thanks
Simo

Tried it on my Nokia 5800 and all seems to be good. The only thing I can fault is a simple text allignment issue. Where "Username Says:" is a few pixels down off the light blue bar background.
All else functions correctly!

There are a few issues with alignment and text size/decoration. If its working in principal though, I can tidy it up. If its pretty crap though, I wouldnt waste my time trying to polish a turd

As long as it's functional and IMHO optional, I think it's a winner

WHat happens - do you just get the normal version? If so, could be a cookeis issue (ie, N97 may not use them?)
