This is an "alternative build" of the awesome Valo theme introduced in Vaadin 7.3. It can be used as a direct replacement in your Vaadin app for the artifact com.vaadin:vaadin-themes.

Relevant changes to the basic Valo theme:

• Loads FontAwesome font from bootstrapcdn
• loads faster (most likely cached by your browsers) and spends less bandwidth on your server
• Loads Open Sans font from Google Fonts
• loads faster (most likely cached by your browsers) and spends less bandwidth on your server
• Leaves out heavy font files from the jar file
• saves ~ 7 MB of your war file size
• deploys faster
• Leaves out older legacy themes

##Pom dependency

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.peimari</groupId>
    <artifactId>dawn</artifactId>
    <version>4</version>
</dependency>

As stated above, you can also remove (or exclude ) the dependency to com.vaadin:vaadin-themes.

Builds distributed via Vaadin Directory.

• CDN distribution of the whole theme, with separate even slimmer module that just adds details about the location of the theme
• Couple of alternative pre-built Valo variations:
• dawn-pro - smaller fonts, smaller margins
• dawn-dark
• dawn-pro-dark
