zen

Hi all, I just started experimenting with my own Zen subtheme. A stupid problem I can't fix is I lost the 2 column layout in the original Zen theme when I changed to the subtheme. I thought these 2 were supposed to be identical at the start... My navigation now shows on the bottem of the page, after content. How can I solve this?

Hi, IE6 is breaking my Zen layout. I believe the issues relates to clearing #main, but for the life of me, can't figure out what I need to do. Any insight greatly appreciated.

The 2.0 branch of the Zenophile module is now in the beta stage!

Have you heard of Zenophile? It's a simple module which automates the process of creating Zen subthemes - no more copying and editing files by hand. Just fill out a few form elements and click a button, and your new Zen subtheme is ready for you to start working with.

Hi folks,

Stranger Greg Albright here. Just wanted to let everyone know about two new websites I just launched.

1) http://indyrotary.org
This site was a collaborative effort from the great folks at Promethius and yours truly. So far, so good. This site features a lot of OG capability because we have over 20 committees in the club. I spent a lot of time editing CSS on this site and still find small areas that can forevermore, be tweaked. It's received great response thus far.

We recently launched a sub theme of Zen for a client here in Virginia Beach, VA -- http://www.oogliebooglie.com. OoglieBooglie is a place where artists and art lovers gather. Artists create designs that they think would look great printed on a T shirt. OoglieBooglie and the members vote for the designs they think are the best. Then, OoglieBooglie prints the design on T shirts and sells them on the site. The artist then gets paid $2 USD per shirt sold on the site for an entire year.

The third article in my Drupal series for Adobe.com is out now. This article covers Drupal Zen Sub-Themes, including Dreamweaver tip(s) when working with Drupal themes.

"When asked why I would recommend the Zen theme versus a core theme such as Garland, I answer, Zen was built to be a seed for your tree—you plant the seed, water it, and watch it grow! Garland looks nice, but is not documented well and has custom page template code that should not appear elsewhere. In short, Garland is just not right as the basis for a theme; the Zen theme is."

There's been quite a lot of request for a Zen theming session (http://drupal.org/project/zen) so wanted to know if this is something that most of you will be keen to come along to? if there is enough people that wish to attend, i'll see what can be done, ie:

• A date most of you can attend
• A free venue to host the session or any company wanting to sponsor this event.

If you would like to contact me direct to discuss this further, please use: http://drupalscotland.org/contact

Thanks,

This post acts as a reference to drupal theming.

Basically there is one choice as far as theming is concerned, you should choose whether you will start from scratch or you will install a 'ready' theme and customize it a bit to your preferences. This part will cover the second choice while the first choice will be covered in part 2. I must state again that this tutorial will act as a reference and only.

I am personally fond of choosing a theme where basically only the layout structure exists in its css.I am aware of two such themes.

Earlier this week I launched http://cs4party.com to promote the celebration our Los Angeles Adobe User Groups are holding for Adobe. I used Strata 3D, exported to H.264 video which I converted to FLV with Flash CS3, and made a SWF header to play and loop the FLV video. Zen was used entirely, so I have a cs4party sub-zen-theme that is literally my first public Zen theme, ever. FYI, the site is Drupal 6.
