Dabr takes on a new look?

I don't mean to tread on any copyright toes here, I'd just like to demonstrate the power and flexibility of Dabr as an open source project.

This screenshot shows Dabr modified slightly to take on the appearance of Twitter's new iPhone/mobile site. It's a working copy on my local machine, not just a photoshop'd image. You can read more about their new site on the Twitter blog.

Of course this is a proof of concept and not available as a real option available on dabr.co.uk. If any designers would like to improve Dabr then let me know and I'll see what we can achieve :)

James is working on another blog post to show a side-by-side comparison of Dabr and Twitter's new mobile site too. Stay tuned.

@Stephen

For Vodafone customers I'd always recommend trying http://m.dabr.co.uk as the link to get to Dabr. Vodafone's systems treat "m" sites slightly different and it should work best that way. I hope this helps :)

i use dabr on the N900 using the touch interface, and its a struggle on the 800x480 screen to hit the icons for reply etc.

maybe something like this hasty scamp...

as a touchHD interface.

I like @macintosh's mockup. I have the same problem in tapping an action button on my Nokia 5800 on a not-that-huge resolution (640x320). Said this before, you should make bigger, more tappable icons :P
