Just finished my first attempt to theme Drupal 7 theme. Please give me some feed back about the theme :).

theme url : http://bluefrost.victheme.com

BlueFrost Theme features :
1. jQuery dropdown suckerfish style using superfish jQuery plugin
2. Custom jQuery accordion menu
3. jQuery masonry for front page optional layout
4. Custom VicTheme jQuery side slide module for the ajax content slider
5. Auto width calculation for header bottom regions and footer regions
6. Themed recent comment and latest article block
7. Banner ready block
8. Themed user login, user register, user password retrieval and sitewide contact form
9. XHTML valid and no css hacks
10. many more...

The goals is to see what Drupal 7 can do out of the box without any contrib module installed, in practice to build such site, I just need to install 1 slider module (custom victheme jquery side slide module) and 1 captcha module. the rest is plain Drupal.

I don't think we can do this in Drupal 6 which lacks of CCK + imagecache thus, no image in your post, cannot do slider with image and such..

So Drupal 7 is definitively an IMPROVEMENT over drupal 6 in terms of user usability. But More (read A LOT) of headache for the developer since we need to relearn almost everything, like people Gym lover always say.. "No pain... No gain".

Anyway, what do you think about my latest theme?

I'm curious. In #2 you mention "Custom jQuery accordion menu". Did I miss it or is it not in evidence on the sample page?

Accordion

The accordion is on the sidebar under "navigation" menu which is build directly from theme layer (no modules involved)

Thanks, sorry about that

Does Blue Frost offer accordions for presenting content?

Not at the moment, only menu
