Saying goodbye to metronic #5529

Have you considered to say goodbye to metronic. It is build on top of bootstrap but is so heavy and causes so many issues . Its not modular, so you have to take it all!

The most it provides is navigation and few simple controls which are found other places like ngprime.

For example here is bootstrap implementation of sidebar: <a class="postlink" href="https://bootstrapious.com/p/bootstrap-sidebar">https://bootstrapious.com/p/bootstrap-sidebar</a>

Here is top bar: <a class="postlink" href="https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/components/navbar/">https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/components/navbar/</a>

Anyone has tried to remove metronic?

    @vladsd We know that Metronic has some pros and cons but we don't have a plan to replace it with another template right now.

    @ismcagdas - I understand. Consider for the future, if you decide to rewrite templates, there are way to do so one case plug in any template framework he wants and apply it. That is how xamarin supports multiple mobile platforms. And there are other examples

    @vladsd we will be using a different approach for abp framework's next version. Base templates will be using raw bootstrap and additional templates will be installed via nuget packages :). But this is still in progress.

    I appreciate all the fantastic work that the ASP.NET Zero Team has put into this framework. CSS Theme development is it's own specialty which requires experience in graphic design and UI. I've built dozens of Web apps and while I'm a good programmer, I'm not a graphic designer and I rely on commercial Theme packages to deliver a really good looking final package which I could never build myself. With a framework this complex and robust, I look to the ASP.NET Zero Team to deliver excellent NET Code and understand the need to utilize CSS Themes.

    @OutdoorEd Thanks :), I totally agree with you.

    We will work on Metronic (make other demos available and making it more optimized) in the future releases, probably v5.8 or v5.9.
