New Drupal Themes
Before we (13jupiters) release themes into the wild at drupal.org, we send them here for some real life experience.
In the process, we document bits and pieces of theme-related knowledge we've picked up while digging through drupal code.
Aqueous: A Novelty Blog Theme
Aqueous: a theme that pretends to pretend to be Aqua.
Designed with a simple blog in mind. The central content area is constrained to a limited width, and the left sidebar is also doomed to be narrow.
Testing at the 13jupiters demo site will consist of determining which blocks and modules are most likely to be activated in a modest blog-type site, and then ensuring that css covers this configuration as thoroughly as possible.
UPDATE July 29:
Drupal UL styles, Part 2: .item-list ul
Drupal modules - both core and contributed - wrap a high percentage of unordered lists in the "item-list" class. If your lists aren't behaving as your css suggests, view source in your browser to find out whether the list you're trying to style is, in fact, an item list
Drupal UL Styles, Part 1: ul.links
One of the challenges that faces any site designer involves using the UL tag to its best advantage. In drupal the challenge is complicated by the frequent appearance of several classes which are pre-styled by drupal.
Universal Tag Page
For theme development reference: this page simply displays various html tags, showing how they appear under the active theme's css rules - when displayed within a node.
