Less Framework 2.0 Released

Note: this is not LESS the CSS preprocessor, it's a CSS framework focused on creating layouts that target multiple devices.

<i>Browsers that don't support media-queries, like ie8 and below, simply ignore everything inside inline media-queries. This means they'll use the default five-column layout – which is more than sufficient for desktop usage – and ignore everything else.</i><p>the 5-column layout is 768px wide is default fir older browsers. Which means i get to see 768px wide layout even on my netbook which easily supports the usual 960px?<p>Guess 960px would be fine as a default. I hope this has some kind of custom layout generator like BlueprintCSS which has Blueprinter.<p>But other than that, this is actually uber-cool.<p>P.S: Thanks to the site designer for mentioning the names of the typefaces used on the site.

Cool. I agree with Charuru that it will be nice to see how this compares to similar resources.<p>One issue with the website: I know the tagline is making use of the name, but it sounds uneducated to say "Now with less features, one grid," when "fewer" is the word to use. Maybe it would be better to say something like, "Less complicated, one grid." There are those out there who may dismiss something wonderful on the basis of a small error like this.

Very cool, but I seem to be having issues with it on the iPhone. Your site loaded correctly in portrait on the first load, but when I rotated to landscape there was an additional black bar maybe 100px wide on the right side of the page, allowing horizontal scroll. Once you've rotated to landscape, the page does not resize back to portrait until you close the page and open it again.

Maybe those are nice fonts, but my browsers are doing a terrible job of rendering them. IE8 has nasty jagged edges on the curves and has clipped the very bottom of the heading font. In Firefox the body text is light and indistinct, escpeially the abbr tags.

I love the idea of this, but I'd have to tweak the execution of the desktop version to make it work on commercial projects. The massive width and low number of columns would only allow for chunky and unsubtle layouts. Fine for a couple of marketing pages but not so great for most polished apps.<p>The reason 960's 12 column works so well is because 12 is the lowest number divisible by both 2 and 3, so you can have the page divided into halves, quarters, thirds and so on, plus you can double the columns to 24 without losing ratios if you really need to get fine-grained. 8 is a bit less flexible.

I like the idea of cross browser flexibility built in and I'd like to try this on a Rails app but not quite sure how I would actually use it.<p>Can you combine the columns for the ability to build larger boxes? Or use less than 5 columns on the widest site?

"Now with less features, one grid"<p>Is that supposed to be "Now with lesser features"?

Do you got any good examples of where it has been used?

Really really want a good comparison/review between LESS, SASS, Scaffold, xCSS, etc.<p>Edit: Apparently this is not lesscss but less the css framework. Sorry for the misunderstanding on my part, but I think it should be understandable...
