Proffesional Look&Feel

shandor Mar 28, 2008 6:09 AM

I am working with RichFaces for 4 months now and completed a full project based on the technology.
I think it is great... but with one serious concern.
The look & feel of a RichFaces application is a bit immature-ish and cannot compete with acceptable standards in the market.
I actually got few very cold responses from customers after demoing. They cant see how great RichFaces is under the hood... but I can really expect them to. Customers usually want something that will look slick and modern and I cant blame them for that.
I stumbled upon this product ( Will support JSF in the next version, so they claim ) which can demonstrate what I am talking about.

My question is, Are there any plans for development on this side of RichFaces ?

I really appreciate all the great work you guys doing.
Thanks
Eddie

Please vote in

for new skins (there is an entry). You can also post your example there.

We had discussions about look & feel in the past but when nobody votes for it...

Is there anything special I should do ?

If you are asking about are we going to do something like http://www.nitobi.com/, the answer is NO.
There is no reason to make something that is much worse that we already have in RichFaces. The reason might be to do something better.
