themes

As you might have noticed, there's a new 2.x-dev branch out of Acquia Marina that includes layouts and styles for Panels 3 among other things: http://drupal.org/node/472094

We'd particularly love to hear from anyone who has tried out this new feature.

For those in the Bay Area who are interested in this topic, we'll be discussing Panels 3 theming at BADCamp this Saturday afternoon: http://badcamp.net/session/theming-panels-3

At least it sure looks like it's based on Marina :) Saw this one the other day that appears to be a really nice derivative, with even more settings and things like colour scheme options! http://drupal.org/project/zeropoint

Anyone tried it out yet?

Hi Drupallers,

Anyone know companies in ireland that have expertise in designing & implementing drupal themes? Also I realise its an open ended question but any feedback as to what a design could cost would be useful as well?

I know D7 is a still a bit off but how difficult is it expected for a template implementation to go from D6 to D7?
What was it like going from D5 to D6 for example.

This might be a Zen-theme specific issue, so forgive me if that is the case.

If I want to make the Primary Links block not appear, then I do so from the "Blocks" page. But to make the items in "Primary Links" not appear as tabs at the top of the page, then I do so from the in "Toggle Display" section of the the Administer-->Site Building-->Themes-->Configure page.

Hi all,
For a recent medical journal from uk [bjmp.org], I have created a subtheme based on Acquia Marina and everything is working ok except the lower end of "content" border appears broken. I want the main content window to also have a border like the sidebar blocks and have added the relevant code of blocks into the page.tpl.php

Not sure how to proceed further.
The only files that have been changed in subtheme folder is
1) page.tpl.php
2) style.css

The Drupal Design Camp Boston website is launched and we are getting ready for the June 13-14 event at MIT.

The attendee list is growing, and the sponsors are almost as excited as we are!

If you plan to attend, jump in at http://boston.design4drupal.org and sign up before it fills up completely.

Attendees can submit sessions, post to forums, join live chat on IRC, make small financial donations, and check out the latest News.

You can also follow us on twitter at D4DBoston. 

Lee has asked for some docs for the Best Practices section of the Theming Guide (http://drupal.org/node/341707).

I made a start a couple of weeks ago but it would be good to get some feedback on what we think should go into this.

I'm tending to think it should be pretty high level, but with enough depth and examples so a themer can pretty much get the basics right without having to go to an external resource, but with links to external resources with additional information.

Hi,

I want to make a theme that can display the same front page theme layout for some categories/links .

For instance the site will have News categories like local, national, international, business,etc. Each menu link to these should display the same home front page format. And news promoted to front page to these categories should move to the corresponding front pages.

Any ideas, inputs to achieve this will be highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

We're adding the first community theme to our themes collection - Platino.

Platino is a community centric theme, simple yet customizable, and appealing to community users. Although it is designed from ground up to be community based, it is an equally able theme for corporate, brochure, or personal site.

Available for D6 only.

I've been evaluating Artisteer, a wysiwyg theme building program that runs on Windows, and I am impressed. With no theme or even HTML/CSS knowledge, you can build a usable design for Drupal, as well as WordPress, Joomla, or just a straight HTML/CSS site very quickly.

One feature I found particularly useful is the 'Ideas' menu, which will suggest random designs for you at the push of a button - either the entire theme, or just portions of it like blocks or header. Very useful to get started with, and then you can start tweaking the details.
