Theme Classes
jQuery Mobile provides two theme classes: a (gray) and b (black). However, you can also create your own, custom class values - all the way up to the letter "z" (See the Themes chapter). The table below lists the available theme classes. The letters (a-z) means that you can specify a letter from a to z. For example: ui-bar-a or ui-bar-b, etc.
| Class | Description |
|---|---|
| ui-bar-(a-z) | Specifies the color for a bar - headers, footers and other bars |
| ui-body-(a-z) | Specifies the color for a content block - page content panes (deprecated in version 1.4.0), listview items, popups, collapsibles, loader, sliders, and panels |
| ui-btn-(a-z) | Specifies the color for a button (and icon) |
| ui-group-theme-(a-z) | Specifies the color for controlgroups, listviews and collapsible sets |
| ui-overlay-(a-z) | Specifies the background color of the page that the dialog, popup and other page containers appears on top of |
| ui-page-theme-(a-z) | Specifies the color for pages |
Grid Classes
Columns in a grid are of equal width (and 100% wide in total), with no border, background, margin or padding. There are five layout grids that can be used:
| Grid Class | Columns | Column Widths | Corresponds To | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ui-grid-solo | 1 | 100% | ui-block-a | Try it |
| ui-grid-a | 2 | 50% / 50% | ui-block-a|b | Try it |
