Zen Task Force

The Zen theme aims to be the ultimate standards-compliant starting theme for Drupal. The name is an homage to the CSS Zen Garden and its aim to completely redefine the look of a site purely through CSS.

This group seeks to solidify the Zen theme to make sure that it is truly pliable, flexible, and adaptable. We will also discuss and implement improvements and future directions for this theme framework and for Drupal theming in general.

You can also find some of us hanging out in the #drupal-zen IRC chatroom.

This morning I released Zen 6.x-1.0-beta3. It has 27 improvements over the previous release. Full release notes are at: http://drupal.org/node/308618

The features of note are:

  • #306856: Optimize code by adding conditional includes. I've reduced the code in template.php that is run on every page in half, which is a significant optimization.
  • #308251: Add useful styling for status, warning, and error messages

Last week, I released Zen 6.x-1.0-beta1 after finally fixing some Drupal core bugs that prevented Zen sub-themes from working the way I felt they should work.

Also, Zen 6.x-1.0-beta2 was released this morning, but just fixes a critical bug for PHP 4 users.

Installation and sub-theme building instructions for Zen 6.x-1.x have also been put in the on-line docs.

using tabs with zen

Hi

Just starting off with Zen and I like the CSS functionality.
However one question seems not to be answered in the documentation.
When copying the files to a new subsite there's no mentioning about copy of the tabs.css that's in the original zen folder.
Is it not possible to create tabs for primary links?

Regards
Fred

TheSkinDrop.com is a collection of what I deem high quality skins for multiple different devices.

The site is my first Drupal 6 site, and my first Zen Theme.
It is still in Beta, not to be 'web 2.0', but because the nature of Drupal 6 modules at the moment I was forced to use a few Dev modules, and even do a fair bit of porting myself just to get the modules I wanted.
I also wrote two modules specifically for the site, one which was released as a project on Drupal.org (mobile_codes) and another which is site specific.

All feedback is appreciated.

Hey just saw the drupal dojo group - http://groups.drupal.org/drupal-dojo - and it gave me an idea.

How about having some tabs on the top of the group to organize it a bit.

Some thoughts:

  1. discussions
  2. built with zen (sites built with zen to show its flexibility) maybe "theme garden" :)
  3. help section
  4. official updates and news

Just thought I would provoke some thought on this. Any other ideas?
