ZK, the leading open source Java framework for enterprise web applications has announced a release of their latest flagship product - ZK 7 RC. Focusing on improving the theme system, ZK 7 brings with it a more powerful, flexible and simpler theme engine to date combining the ease of CSS 3, LESS and Bootstrap to create the best possible experience.

Leveraging ZK 7, design and development teams will have a much easier job spending less time creating applications which look great and perform better than ever. It is now much easier to create themes from scratch and customize existing themes; bootstrap themes can be used to kick start theme creation saving resources needed to produce great looking themes. The existing default theme has also been simplified, including the DOM structure

Apart from that, ZK 7 also introduces a new theme ‘Atlantic’ adopting the newest trend in User Interface design – flat design, removing gradients, rounded corners and shadows that are used in a lot of the breeze theme. This flat design also gives users an advantage of easier customization without having to take care of those skeuomorphic effects.

Additionally, these changes will make prototyping even easier, ZUL provides a great base for prototyping but with now simplified themes and Bootstrap support meaning it will take less time to produce an impressive application which uses, or is similar to the company's theme.
In addition to theme, ZK 7 also introduces new components and upgrades to old ones including enhanced CSS 3 and HTML 5 support such as a new navigation component set along with performance improvements and more.
