zen

(cross-post from bloggy)

I started doing Drupal themes with the idea that we could have simple, minimalist themes that can get the job done with little images.

Color.module helped with the eye-hurting colors and Zen just provided an excellent starting point to make a very high quality theme.

After having taken a peek into the Zen project and drinking the kool aid the syntax markup and quality is blue skies over here. Color.module and Zen work well in combination. :)

For the most part, I'm completely happy with the XHTML source ordering for Zen. I love that we've got the content ordered before the sidebars. However, I have to admit that on a regular basis, I have been frustrated by the way that the navigation works (and/or doesn't work).

Dear friends,

I'm building a new website using Drupal and the state-of-the-art Zen theme. You can take a preview here:

Hey, Here is a new drupal 6 Zen theme! (My first D6)

http://www.gcc.yagireviews.com

will be moved later to...

http://www.genesiscancercenter.com

I know it is broken in ie (I haven't gotten around to that yet :)

The Client said they wanted the site to look like http://www.evernote.com and I think it looks pretty close.

Let me know what you think.

This is a site we just launched for Curt Smith (1/2 of Tears for Fears). Still sorting thru a few bugs/issues, but the site seems to be holding together -

Kudos to the following -
Hani Hong (http://intrepidina.com/) for design
NikLP (http://drupal.org/user/71221) and MikeyLikesIt (http://drupal.org/user/18219) for theming

Feedback/comments encouraged....

Edit: I could use some advice with a css bug.

This is a site I just built for a friends Cajun band in Colorado Springs, CO! Check it out.

I'm a newb trying to find out what the status of the zen base template is for drupal 6.x. Also, are there any little tasks I can do to help get zen for 6.x ready? I'm not a drupal pro but am a developer and I may be able to help out a little on weekends.

Edit: Completed!

The image on Zen’s project homepage is a straight screenshot of the Zen core. That screenshot follows Drupal’s standard instructions for screenshots.

Hey Guys I am having trouble getting my primary links to be a.active when I am on a child page of that parent menu item. After searching drupal.org until I was blue in the face I thought this would be a great little check box in the theme settings for zen since I need this on a lot of sites I build. What do you guys think? Do you all have any other ideas about theme settings that would make our lives just a little easier?

Thanks to all those who have helped with zen it really rocks!

Last week I started the challenge to upgrade <a href="http://testedgroup.com" target=_blank">my custom zen sub-theme from zen 5.x-0.7 to zen 5.x-1.0 which has taken a couple more hours effort than I had originally expected. The outcome so far however was worth the effort. Thanks JohnAlbin and contributors.

With the excellent documentation, I have decided to start and modify my frontpage from the traditional river of news to display NODE-X that wraps around BLOCK-X displayed on the right hand side of the content. Now I have hit a barrier and I need your input...
