What do you think about the CSS base and the usability... is Thema an alternative or different in some way ( besides the price tag ;-) i guess ) ?
I read they are using the YUI CSS grid... what is your base system?
I haven't got any change to try Morph yet (as it is not already released) so i can't tell you exactly what the difference between Thema and Morph is.
However, after reading thru Morph's introduction, i see that it is look like an alternative for Thema.
Concerning the CSS base, Morph is using YUI grid library while Thema is included with an in-house, easy to understand and implement CSS framework (including both typography and grid-based layout) which we develop to best fit Joomla specific layout.
At this development state, basing on Thema to create new unique Joomla 1.5 template requires a little more manual works than what introduced in Morph. But when Morph is publicly available, Thema will also be updated to automate almost all new template creation tasks (please take a look at our
Thema development roadmap for more details).
In additional, Morph look like a template generator component while Thema is just a base Joomla 1.5 template with everything except graphical design already ompleted is the professional way.
If you have change to test Morph right now, please share your experience with others here. Thank you.
