Garvin, I've been working on the colorset solution you provided above, and for the softened cell/sunset theme it works perfectly. I've repackaged the zipfile for you to test offline. Download colorset . If your happy, then go ahead and put it into spartacus, but I feel it might be too soon if you wa...

Hi Dave, I'm pretty happy with css/html, but now and again I get stuck with smarty, please accept my apologies. I think I need to change the sidebar.tpl At the moment it is this, {foreach from=$plugindata item=item} <div class="serendipitySideBarItem container_{$item.class}"> <div class=&q...

Hi all, I've finished another theme, available from my site . This one is interesting because of the many small innovations. Check out the menu on this one as well, css only with hidden tabs. I've also fully integrated the archives page into this theme, who would've thought it could look so good. Fi...

Hi Garvin, No problem, the wiki needs something like this, and the way the project is going (documenting styles) its going to be 'Bigger than Ben Hur'. I've never put posts into a wiki before, and don't know if there are anyconventions that need to be followed, do I need anything? Also, would other ...

Hi all, On another thread I was asked to start the ball rolling on producing a definitive guide to theming. Its a massive project but someone has to do it. Anyway, I've made a start, and my first contribution is ready to download. Quite simply this is just the default theme stylesheet re-organised a...

What a ridiculous fix, but I'm glad its working for you. How would you know to apply this kind of workaround if you didn't have google, the people at MS should really take some responsibility for their incompetence. By the way judebert, I did get your email, and haven't had an opportunity to look it...

Garvin, I think I speak for any theme designer in saying that would be a welcome change, perhaps all those MT themes could also be converted over.

oooh, you are seriously taking this thing to a whole new level, and this is why WP et al are going to start losing users. I'm going to have a play with this, I would love to do this with my 'carl' themes and also the new softened cell/sunset themes. Problem at the monent is I make a change in one of...

Judebert, If only we could get rid of IE, and by the way have you seen what Opera does to your theme? Completely mangled. I remember reading something a long time ago that IE doesn't play nice with fieldsets, at the time I was playing around with a quote form for my business website, and I think I h...

Garvin, You have completely lost me. What you're saying sounds cool, but how to make it happen? I know you're trying to push us into developing better themes, with better smarty integration, but come on give me a break :lol: I'll have to go and research this, but is it possible to also use the same ...

Judebert, that was exactly what I was thinking, but I really haven't progressed very far yet, been working on other themes, a theme userguide with new basic theme etc. I had thought another :lol: option would be to create a new file menu.tpl, and simply include this at the spot where the menu is to ...

Sorry everyone, my connection timed out. This thread was started by me.

ALL HAIL THE GREAT GARVIN!!! TREMBLE IN HIS WAKE YE WHO ARE NOT WORTHY.

Seriously, that is a great fix, thank you.

Josh, You may hate me for suggesting this :D,but get rid of your javascript menu, instead replace it with a completely css driven menu, all your links will be visible to search engine spiders, your filesizes will be smaller, it is easier to configure, and you can get support from standard css resour...

I feel a terrible headache coming on, why can't this stuff be in plain english? I suspect its gonna take me a couple of days to get my head around this even though I could just copy and paste your solutions. If I'm going to use this solution and then support it in a theme I feel an obligation to und...
