I have been seeing more and more requests in the Resource world for the ZB people to provide a Mobile application for the ZetaBoards. They say one is coming, but I have no idea when it will arrive. In the meantime, I could create a barebones theme with few to no images if that is something that you think you would find useful in accessing KOT while using a phone of some sorts? |

I do, rarely. When I'm too lazy to put my computer on for a quick check.

I do, but I don’t have much trouble loading the current them that I use. The issues I have aren’t with graphics but the layout of the board (for example the size of text boxes) and that is something you couldn’t change with a skin. When Zeta makes their model interface I assume they will automatically detect a model user and their whole interface will change to suit a model device; that will definitely be useful. |

Dante, when you say "size of text boxes", do just mean anywhere there is text on the board/Index? I do have some leeway in redesigning the layout of the board. I've started working on a theme and I am reducing the size of a lot of boxes, space around text and removing images/boxes that just aren't necessary in that format (e.g Index Forum markers/boxes). For example, Index markers will not display... LINK (The theme color will probably change. I am working on an older imageless theme that I created, but never got around to finishing.) So hopefully, it will be beneficial in some way when using a phone. |

The themes here are quite compatible with my phone, actually. Especially Pumpkin Patch.

That is good to know. I know you really like Pumpkin Patch. Is there something about that theme that makes it extra compatible on the phone? |

The width of the main box with in a thread (the box you are reading this from) could be smaller. The width of the box used to type a post could be smaller. The quote boxes that auto size and caused you to scrole if a quote is large enough doesnt work on my phone. Those are the three things that make using a phone more dificult. |

I have reduced the size of the theme to compensate for #1 and #2. I am checking into #3.

I"m lucky if I can figure out how to turn my phone on. I still don't have text-messaging down yet.....

Veerrrrrrrry rarely. I only check boards from my phone if I get a PM alert through my e-mail's SMS-FWD filter. |

Hey, I don't even have a cellphone. So I can understand wanting to keep things simple.

My wife and I shared one for years. Although not too long ago we decided that with a little one around having one each for emergencies was a good idea. |

I just wish that Tapatalk would include ZB in their list of supported boards. |

I had never heard of that before, but Tapatalk looks pretty interesting. ZetaBoards tends to keep things pretty autonomous. I wonder if Tapatalk needs to get permission from the ZB owner before it can even be added to their list of supported boards? |

Dante, Regarding the width of those boxes, are they not already resizing to fit your browser/phone? The boxes automatically get smaller as you reduce the size of the browser window/resolution (they auto-fit). It should do the same on a phone. |

Well, it's just too simple to not work on the phone. But that simplicity makes it an awesome theme! What I mean is, there are no three piece h2s, any other codes or such.
