I am a big fan of Google Web Fonts. It is something every web designer should try his hands on. I normally add them to my CSS style sheets on forums using @import  . You can see an example below

@import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans);

It is also possible to add it to a template. Benefit of using Google Web Font is a large collection of beautiful fonts and a lightning fast CDN to add fonts to your project.

I have seen Material UI. But still looking for an easy to material design framework. Something that would keep the idea of Twitter Bootstrap will be more than welcome.

I am a bit puzzled here. I thought I would start with learning Laravel 5. But it seems to me that learning PHP first would be the right way to go. May be I would give some time for PHP and get the basic right that putting my efforts directly on Laravel. Any opinion is welcome.

Has anyone here tried Ionic Framework. It is a HTML + CSS + AngularJS framework to build Android apps. I have used it an built a small ( for fun ) app. I haven't gone further since I could not find a place where I could clear my doubts. Ionic Framework 2 is in beta currently and still receiving great comments. I hope I could try to learn it by the time it goes stable.

Just wondering how we can add a colour picker to a theme as give in default theme at Post4VPS. Is it some plugin you have used @admin ? Would nice if you could give some pointers. Nice work by the way.

Hello All,
My name is Dilip. I like forums and participate in a few. It was very recently I came to know of this forum from another community. I hope I will get some good friends and a VPS ( hopefully ) here. I understand we need 25 posts to claim a VPS. If you don't mind me asking, in which thread should I ask for it once I have 25 posts ? Also, kindly tell if there is anything I should know about the VPS giveaway.
Regards,
Dilip

Hi,

I have just completed 25+ posts. I hope they meet your requirements. However when I go to VPS Request board, I cannot see any option to apply for VPS. Can someone help me out please ?

As I had promised here is some Views of my First MyBB Theme which i named - Flow
So, i had recently started developing themes for Mybb, thought of creating a theme so.. here is some shorts or the theme..









and here is a small live demo - http://puu.sh/o4mtQ/8cc6a83a5a.rar

Currently i have implemented Background changer - which can change background both into pattern (repeating) as well as image (no-repeat and fixed) which uses cookies.
and its coming with a colorpicker plugin named - Colpick from which users can change the theme's color to any color they want, and which also have a reset color button which can reset the color to default theme color(if admin want then they can easily re-define the default color). i was thinking to also implement some ready made color inside background changer drop down menu.. but its just an idea and need suggestions weather this idea would be useful or not.

the Theme is still in work in Progress so any suggestions can be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

At the face of it , wordpress seems a awesome cms to use , it provides a lot of functionality built in and is super easy to install and start using even if you don't know anything about it.
It is best CMS for web developer when it comes to create a working site which includes heavy features like ecommerce or some other things.
But imagine a scenario where you have a psd design of the site you want develop and only functionality is contact form, the wordpress would seem overkill.
sometimes its better to stick to old school html and css , maybe throw in little bootstrap to spice up the design.
what are your thoughts on this ?
Is wordpress the ultimate tool , it is very popular but does it deserve this popularity ??
