Theme Garden

I just wanted to write a quick post to spa– er, draw attention to a couple of Zen-related contributions I've been working on recently which have made my life a lot easier and may do the same for you.

First off is Zen Midnight, a brand new Zen subtheme I just contributed yesterday. However, like the Themer's Starter Kit theme that comes with Zen, Zen Midnight isn't intended to be used by itself; it's intended to be used as a starter theme for your own themes.

This site barely warrants the use of a CMS, and mostly just shows off the talents of the designer I work with, but thought would post it here for viewing anyway. Good practice for me to build up to more complex sites.

I am wondering where are all the other zen sites out there - has not been many updates to the zen garden of late?

Here is the site www.bridalshoppingtours.com.au

Hi there,

I have just about finished building my first very basic theme for a client using Zen sub-theme. I have used the fixed width layout with a 3 column design. I have a problem where the viewport, or entire page width is moving slightly from right to left, or left to right. It appears to be dependent on the length of the page, with navigating between the shorter pages, that do not require a scroll, it is not happening. However move from a page with long content, to a shorter one, then the movement is noticeable.

just a big thanks to all of the help with zen, THANK YOU. It helped me make a site for my brother sixtoes.co.uk

Woah, totally missed putting this site up here. But these websites were built as a zen sub-themes, and I just want to say how much Zen rocks!

The part that excites me is that I can build these sites around Zen and greatly improve my efficiency!

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. :)

Just wanted to show a site I've built: http://primary-sources.eui.eu/

We're still in a testing phase before 'official' launch early october but very curious to what other Zen users say. It's an academic portal meant to be simple and hopefully easy to navigate for users. Any feedback would be very much appreciated!

All best,

Hi, just wanted to share with you a site I've done with Zen during my summer holidays.

I have to say that Zen is an excellent base theme, and, as a total CSS beginner, I was surprised how easily I could bend it to my will... The most difficult task was to deal with these f#?!# MS IE 6 and 7 browsers... If it was only for FF or Chrome or Safari it would have been a lot easier...

And last thing, firebug (FF extension) is such a wonderfull tool, especialy when dealing with the so many Drupal stylesheets...

Here it is : http://www.ineaguide.org.

This is a zen subtheme I designed for our company web site. Zen is the best theme ever and I am keen to contribute to its success. Check it out at http://www.manaakisolutions.co.nz

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

will be moved later to...

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.
