Hello

Hi!

Great, that's a quite unique Theme for Serendipity, I really think many people will like to have this possiblity.

Would you like me to add your theme to our Spartacus repository when it's completely finished? I read you were trying to implement some more differences to the default theme?

I think what could be modified is the rest of "blue" color in the CSS; IMHO it does not go very well with the sand/brown color theme, so maybe you'd like to try some variations?

Keep up the great work!

Regards,
Garvin

Hi abdussamad

nice work :-)

You might want to consider changing the 'xml.gif' to a 'feedicon'. You can download a full set of 'feedicons' to use in all your projects from http://www.feedicons.com

Thanks everybody :) . I am glad you guys like it. I think it is a tribute to Tom 's theme that it is so easy to modify.

gavin: Of course I would like you to upload it to spartacus. I'll post the final version here. But I doubt it will be much different from the current version so if you want to upload it now that is fine too. I have mentioned some of the changes I am thinking of making to this template on my site.

d_cee: That's a good idea. A dark brown feed icon would fit nicely.

Smarties Killer: Nice nick. Could you post a link to your site? I'd like to see it. I guess your referring to the top menu. I can't think of how that would fit in with the rest of the paper look. Any ideas? What do you think the buttons should look like? Right now I'd like to finish this template. But I would like to hear any ideas you have.

I have finished this theme. I haven't made any of the major changes that I initially wanted to, but I have fixed a number of bugs and made a few minor changes. It would be nice if somebody uploaded it to spartacus now. It's available for download here.

There's a preview image here

Hi!

Thanks, I just downloaded it and will add it to CVS as soon as the CVS of SourceForge is online again!
