This is a special interest group dedicated to improving and expanding the Drupal theme system including theme functions and templates, CSS, markup, and how contrib modules add in their functions, CSS, and markup.
for example, we'll take stock of the location and number of CSS files and discuss if the architecture can be improved through emerging frameworks like Object Oriented CSS.
We will consider the questions "What do themers need from Core in terms of CSS? Module developers? SEO specialists?" and "What's new in CSS? What does Drupal support? What's the roadmap for CSS support?"

Read morebeginner responsive theme development question
I have a little experience working with conventional themes and css, but I am new to working with responsive themes. I have installed the Radix theme on a panopoly site and read what I have been able to find about customizing the theme. However, I have not gotten too far. So far I have not found a lot of info for beginners.
I am not sure the best way to proceed with some simple changes. For example I want to add a logo over the navbar. Do I alter the page.tpl.php file to do this? Are most changes made via bootstrap?

Changes to Drupal 8 that affect admin theme maintainers
Happy Friday! I maintain the admin theme in Drupal 8 core: Seven. There have been many changes to Seven in Drupal 8 that affect the relationship between admin themes and modules, and how the admin UI is generated.
I've always thought that the strategy we've put in place are going to have a positive impact on maintainers of contrib admin themes, but I've never sought out feedback directly. I am now!

Hi folks,
On a new site I am building we are using the same theme for mobile and desktop, but for the homepage I want to disable, server-side, some aspects of the homepage when a mobile client appears on our site. The desktop version of the homepage is a very fancy parallax and the mobile version will be function-over-form.
I'm considering using:

And using PHP to enable/disable various aspects of the homepage when it triggers.
Read moreHow can we improve frontend sprints at Drupal events?
Last updated by lewisnyman on Wed, 2015-01-07 12:36
At DrupalCamp Ghent, we held a very small frontend BOF, with myself, Laurii, Emma.maria, and guest frontender Xano.
It quickly became a retrospective on the Friday sprints that took place at DrupalCon Amsterdam. The collective thoughts were not positive. It felt like we fell way short of our goals and potential for the Friday sprint. Drupalcon Friday sprints are about introducing people to sprinting and it feels like we failed badly at that.
Here were some of the problems:
- Newbies did not get enough help
- The few people helping the newbies did not get enough support

What do Freelance Themers want to see in a Help Wanted post?
Hi Themers,
I recently posted a Theming Job [1] which produced a lot of spam [2], but zero replies showing the person had read the post and/or could follow application instructions. I thought the application instructions were insanely easy (one link, estimate, ask questions), but I guess no one read down that far?
In any event, as I still need the work done, and I apparently need to re-write the job rec., so:

Image Action for Blend mode: Darken or Multiply?
Hi There, anyone have any code written for a custom Image Style Action that will blend (darken or multiply) an image into a canvas color I provide?
I've been toying with Image Styles Actions module and I can't seem to find a darken/multiply blend mode.
I can't install ImageMagick on this server, if that's important. So I'm hoping for an Action I can load that will process the images as necessary.
Any way to do this with Image Actions or with custom code?
Thanks!!

Read moremixed fixed and responsive with Zen grids?
Hi there,
I hope this is the best place to post my question, if not please refer me to the proper group / focum or support area! Thank you.
I'm trying to make a responsive (sub theme zen) template using SASS w/ zen grids. I noticed when using the responsive template that it makes the right side bar expand /shrink when you re-size. I only want the main content area to resize. If I set a min-width on the side-bar the percentage margins that zen grids adds breaks the layout.
If I try to set the width in the include statement:
.region-sidebar-second {
//set width to 292px

I suspect this is not where I Should post this so if so, would someone be kind enough to point as to where I should?
I have some experience with Drupal and I am trying to learn CSS. I have very limited knowledge at this point. On the site www.internationalebrochure.com, I want to use a background image. I've accomplished that to a large degree. It uses D7 with the responsive green theme. You will notice that about a third of the way down the page there is a white line. I cannot figure out how to eliminate that. I can't find the associated code.
Read moreSeven Style Guide update
A few months ago in February we proposed a style guide for the Seven theme, we are now well underway. This is a recap and look ahead.
The objectives of the Style Guide are:
- Identify Drupal core values that we can use to determine the look & feel for the Seven theme.
- Unify the visual language in Seven and ensure the overall look-and-feel supports the core values.
- Identify the visual and UI patterns used by Drupal core so that they form a conscious, shared language for us to built upon.
