Releasing this site's Drupal theme
Kind inquirer Rob asks about the origins of this site's green theme, and whether it could be made available for download. Why, these pages just might go all pink from blushing!
The theme is just hopped-up Zen, as described here: http://www.drupalace.com/page_my_site_setup
With a few improvements, I think it would be nice to make the theme available as a download. On the good side, I (if I recall corrrectly) made plenty of notes in the CSS files as I senselessly hacked away at things, which may be welcomed by later hackers of the theme. But first, I've got some tidying-up on my to-do list. I want to tweak spacing on the secondary menu (under Drupal stuff), make some of the H1, H2 etc. headers easier to distinguish from each other, and... oh, I don't know, maybe tone down the green a bit, at least in text items.
And a bigger item: I believe the Drupal Ace logo graphic is "hard coded" into the graphic background, not placed via Drupal's logo function. That'll have to go (unless, of course, people everywhere want a dorky grinning spade-guy on their web sites...)
So let me jump upon those tasks, and clean house a bit before offering up the theme. Stay tuned –













Re: Releasing this site's Drupal theme
I've never been called a "kind inquirer" before! :)
I'm really happy you're willing to share your work with the community
No doubt eventually I'd do some tweaking of my own - Be interesting to see where it ends up
The site I'd like to use your theme for is
http://www.pellet-burner-specialists.co.uk
It's related to environmental issues and more specifically wood (pellet) fuel - A carbon neutral fuel supply
(Almost got carried away there)
Currently the site has a Garland theme that's been colour shifted. Garland seems horrible to mod, so I'm very glad to hear yours is Zen based! (I only learn of Zen's existence recently)
The hard coded logo is a bit of problem. Would you care to release the graphics source files? I've got my fingers crossed for a *.xcf (GIMP's format similar to Photoshop's *.psd)
Anyway...thanks for a great, positive, response DA
Keep up the good work on your fine site
No doubt you'll be seeing me around ;)
