Theme switch for Roller 5.1?

[Glen Mazza <gl...@gmail.com>]

Team, I'd like to bring in Gaurav's responsive (Bootstrap) theme[1] into 
trunk and have it replace the "Brushed Metal" theme.  I've plugged it 
into trunk and it looks quite nice.  Roller 5.1 should ship with at 
least one responsive theme and Gaurav's work seems to fit our needs 
pretty well.  Here's an idea of what it looks like: 
https://web-gmazza.rhcloud.com/test/  .  The "archives" and comment 
entry fields are particularly well-designed.  I put in a pull request 
earlier today to Gaurav to fix the search entry box.

As for Brushed Metal, it's at least 7 years old and none of our users 
[2] are using it today.  Brushed Metal features a narrow text column, 
good if you're posting text-only articles and you want tall/narrow 
paragraphs that are easier to read than the wide column offered by the 
source-code-friendly Basic and Rolling themes.  But anyone looking for a 
narrow text column is going to want a responsive theme anyway, which 
Brushed Metal can't provide.  So I think Gaurav's theme would be a good 
replacement for it.  WDYT?

Regards,
Glen

Hello Glen,

Thanks for adding my work in Roller. I have merged the changes you 
mentioned.

Please let me know if anything else have to be done. I recently sent a 
mail in mailing list regarding the contribution towards roller. I am 
really interested in any UI work to be done, can anyone assign me some 
of that Issues in JIRA so I can contribute.

Regards,
Gaurav
