The Application has a button specifically for "Bootstrap website" to getboostrap.com
the other button says "More themes online" and links to http://bigprof.com/appgini/more-bootstrap-themes
the text on that page says
So I am confused why are CSS STYLESheets called a THEME?Get more Bootstrap themes
Bootstrap is a responsive CSS framework that can create neat web page layouts that look good on any device. As of AppGini 5.20, the generated applications use Bootstrap 3 for laying out pages. This means you can easily customize the look of your application using one of the many themes that come built-in (we use the standard Bootstrap theme + 11 others provided courtesy of Bootswatch), or downloading themes made by others -- there are thousands of themes available online, both free and commercial.
When I look at the Appgini "/themes" installed folders all I see is CSS styles which might also be called "skins" .
HTML framework produced by Appgini does not change from the one framework that it is has been engineered to generate.
Appgini information is all pointed to encouraging people to go out and either download free Bootstrap 3 THEMES or buy some commercial Themes for Bootstrap AS IF Appgini will be able to input each THEME and when one of these 3rd party Themes are selected by the Developer he or she has a different kind of Appgini form and grid output.
I cannot understand why this false notion is being promoted so heavily by Appgini when the only option actually available is simply which CSS style sheet in the "themes" folder is selected?
Same design just different colors and slightly different buttons.
And why in the Appgini application is this folder even called "/themes"?
In any other application this folder would be called "/styles" or "/skins".
And in the Appgini installation you do have a folder called "/skins" that is not the standard industry definition of "skins".
More properly this would be called "/icons"
This is a very important item in Appgini that is promoted specifically AS IF Appgini can install a whole different Bootstrap Theme and the user simply "plugs it in" to Appgini and can generate the kind of views which Appgini is promoting on this Bootstrap Theme page.
The one single item which Appgini can use is one of the CSS stylesheets out of that theme and I suppose that the CSS that calls for external JS files can be modified to refer to the JS files installed in another folder in Appgini.
But that is as far as it can go. The real THEME functionality is lost, unusuable in most cases without intrusive mods of Appgini.
If I had never seen Bootstrap themes and followed your suggestions I might have paid for one of themes your own website displays at "Get more Bootstrap themes" http://bigprof.com/appgini/more-bootstrap-themes and then been scratching my head for hours trying to figure out why this new theme cannot work like a plugin to Appgini.
Am I misunderstanding this issue?
