Steve Fisher (@hellofisher) and I have created a very unique WP theme.<br>
It serves one single purpose and that is to create and present style<br>
tiles. This theme will not serve to help create a website or blog.<br>
Instead it will utilize the customize.php to create responsive<br>
interactive styletiles live in the browser.<br>
<br>
We would really like to submit this to the Theme Directory but since<br>
its so unique I'm not sure it will be accepted. It def does not follow<br>
the guidelines of the theme unit test. However it is coded under<br>
WordPress best practices.<br>
<br>
I can attach the theme for review, but right now I'm on an airplane<br>
with really poor wifi. For now any advice on the subject would be<br>
greatly appreciated.<br>

WHAT IS A STYLE TILE?<br>
<br>
Samantha Warren explains on <a href="http://styletil.es" target="_blank">styletil.es</a> that:<br>
<br>
Style Tiles are a design deliverable consisting of fonts, colors and<br>
interface elements that communicate the essence of a visual brand for<br>
the web. They help form a common visual language between the designers<br>
and the stakeholders and provide a catalyst for discussions around the<br>
vision and goals of the project. Style Tiles are similar to the paint<br>
chips and fabric swatches an interior designer gets approval on before<br>
designing a room.<br>
<br>
As everything we do is represented in a browser we wanted to take our<br>
style tiles a bit further. So here it is. An in-browser style tile<br>
that helps us establish a visual language and design direction for<br>
your project. Plus it is viewable in any modern device so you can get<br>
an idea of how things might feel on your device.<br>
