theme

The Acquia Marina theme uses icons in blocks, which presented an interesting challenge for contributing on drupal.org, since all files must be GPL licensed (PS. the PSD files for Marina are now available for download in our group). Creative Commons licenses don't cut it, which tends to be what icon designers go with when they decide to make free icons available.

Drupal community member garamond recently launched iEarth.ru with an extensive modification to Acquia Marina. He's kindly contributed the theme on drupal.org, which is now available for download!

We need a theme contest. It's been talked about many times over the past few years. I give you the previous attempts...

http://drupal.org/node/17876, http://drupal.org/node/25312, http://drupal.org/node/55460, http://drupal.org/node/6247#comment-9358

I think these attempts have failed due to lack of funding, support and clear organization. I want to get the ball rolling on this. Please reply with your ideas and comments. Here are my ideas I'm tossing around.

The good people in paris have given us the opportunity to have a theme & design track in paris 2009.
and even better the want me to be responsible for that track gasp
and even better *2 they have given us more or less free hands to do what ever we wanna do!!!

So what I need to know right now is:

• What session would you love to see at a drupalcon.

• Is it important to have sessions that are not "drupalcentric" aka "color theory", "designing with a grid" etc

• wishes wishes wishes - whatever your idea come with it

Hi Everyone,

We’ve almost completed the demo and documentation websites for the Layout Studio development theme. This brings us one step closer to having it officially released on drupal.org. Have a look, and please feel free to send me your comments if you see any spelling mistakes or errors.

You can also leave comments on the documentation site.

• http://layoutstudiotheme.com
• http://demo.layoutstudiotheme.com

Until we get approved as a Drupal Project, you can download the theme on the documentation site.

Thanks,
Rene

First of all, thank you so much to everyone who responded to my last request to this group. I've found someone to help me build my site in Drupal.

I am also helping the UW Madison Horticulture Department recreate their current webpage (http://www.horticulture.wisc.edu/) in Drupal. I've set up the website but I'm not a designer, so I'm looking for someone to create a nice theme. I'm not sure yet how much the chair of the department is willing to pay. I think it would be between $500 and $1000 depending on the complexity.

Thanks,
Sarah

Sorry for the wait... Here is a link to the power point file from the Bending Zen presentation at the last Drupal Indy meetup. I will post the screen cast when I can get it finished. I will be walking through the complete creation of a theme starting with the Zen Theme. For now, at least you can reference the information that was the intro to the presentation.

The Power Point file is attached, and here is where I posted it on my blog.

Is anyone aware of a good guide for creative agencies with regard to creating user interfaces/web site designs that are easly implemented with drupal?

I recently posted over here http://drupal.org/node/337797, about a different approach to themeing in Drupal. I wanted to get the opinion of this group, because it is comprised of everybody that would potential be using this concept.

I vote for really hammering out all the ideas, before beginning and not rushing this if you think this is a good idea, or at least the beginning of a good idea. So long story short, I'm thinking Drupal 8.

I need help with the logic to:

1. Detect whether page.tpl.php is displaying a full node (one only, not listed)
2. Detect if the author has uploaded a userpic, and if yes, display the userpic. If no, display the default userpic
