I'm glad to announce that the Aberdeen theme was finally released today.

Aberdeen is a fresh design that balances simplicity, soft, neutral background colors, plenty of whitespace and big nice typography.

There are a few interesting features listed in the Downloads themes section. For example, a "zoomable" Liquid layout. The whole layout increases or decreases proportionally as dimensions are specified in ems. Try changing the font size to see this working.

Please let me know of any issues or suggestions.

There isn't an official link yet I'm afraid. The project is at http://drupal.org/project/aberdeen

I am sorry, it was quite easy to find as it started with letter "a".

I downloaded it and tested it with Drupal 5. It looks awesome. Just the type of theme that is both easy to customize AND looks really good.

You've done exccccellent work on this. Congratulation!!

It works just fine in IE 7 as well.

the whole layout increases or decreases proportionally as dimensions are specified in ems.

The effort there is very much appreciated.

Thanks Caroline, the layout in ems was the "fun" part of the project ;)

Chrisada *just* changed the theme to Aberdeen, so you may view it there (for now, anyway ;).

I was there checking out his brand new drupal port of the gorgeous GlossyBlue theme:

visible at http://ichris.ws/drupal/themes/glossyblue

Way to go to johnnybegood for Aberdeen, and chrisada for his port of GlossyBlue.

These make for two wonderful (and much needed) additions to Drupal's set of available themes.

Aberdeen now includes a new sub theme, a liquid layout for those who need their site to scale in relation to the browser window.

Hi, I am using the Aberdeen Liquid theme for the upcoming Australian online workwear shop, worksafetynsportwearonline.com.au. As of now the theme is used as it is, and IMHO it looks great in the pre-launch version of the site.

You can see it in action here: http://worksafetynsportwearonline.com.au/shop

Thanks
