WebAsyst User Interface is now CSS-based

Published November 15, 2006

We have just released new major WebAsyst upgrade that affects all applications.

We have redesigned the WebAsyst user interface. The underlying mechanism of the updated interface is 100% CSS-based (CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets). Using CSS allows users to separate presentation from structure and behavior and makes user interface elements less code-dependent. This approach is becoming more popular in web applications design, as it is more efficient, and yields easier and faster ways to create new interface elements like color themes and layout variations.

In today’s new WebAsyst release we are adding new “look & feel” interface option – “Garden”. The name was chosen to reflect its light green palette and shades of garden-like colors. This new “look & feel” upgrade also gives a choice of main window layout - you can now display the main WebAsyst menu either at the top of your browser:

Garden Theme with menu at the top

...or on the left:
