Wesley's Tool-Box Theme...
Posted: Thu Aug 11, 2005 6:57 am
Recently, I decided that the design of my website reached a certain 'it
looks okay' status... so I decided to post it on the showcase now.
Wesley's Tool-Box is a website I run to post all sorts of stuff...
originally about computer hardware, but apparently I've moved onto
other things as well.
I tried to create a clean, flat looking design that isn't really based on any
previous theme in particular. Very early in the design process I wanted to
use green, but it didn't turn out so well, and now it's pretty much an
all-bluish theme.
Navbar, copyright notice, and advertisements were placed using the
HTML page nugget plugin that I created because I wanted to leave the
default templates as much as possible. Currently, the only template that
had been customized is the calendar, because I wanted to show the time
frame in year-month order. Default month-year order does not look well
with Korean language, but '2005 July' doesn't look nice in English, so as
a compromise they're placed in a separate line like a lot of real-world
calendar does.
This theme is now uploaded to CVS repository at additional_themes/toolbox.
