It's not an iphone app, it shouldn't look like one #14

The unnecessary gradients cause a hit in performance. Having iphone-like design elements causes people to think that iphone-like things should work (i.e. why can't I delete by holding down the item or by swiping it?)

True, I was just thinking this today too. I got a little carried away when I was making the design after I found some nice CSS to make those gradients.

Also, I didn't realize gradients had such performance issues until I just googled it now... Eventually we'll probably use images if we want to make the style nice. For now I guess we can move to single colors for almost everything. Thanks for the heads up.

Trying to look like native apps is why jquery mobile, sencha touch, and others perform so poorly.

Sorry I didn't say it sooner, but I like the look much better. It's probably the many hours I spent with the iphone interface builder but I can't stand that blue gradient anymore. Good work. I'll close this. Feel free to reopen it if you need it to remind you to change something.
