Toying With The Blue Zone Theme!
I have been a long time Foliage user but since Drupal 6 is so close to be the benchmark for the CMS users on the web. I thought I would give old trusty Foliage some time off and find another theme that would give the same result or better, with a different feel. BlueZone is very easy to edit - never needed to open a book- a little Style Master Action, and Bingo done like dinner in about 2.5 hours! Very user friendly at 960px wide!
Let me hear from you before I drop some flash into it !
Modules are all the normal ones Image, Flash Gallery, and Gallery2 is used for the e cards...
Flash viewers are Slide Show Pro and some cheap purchases from Flash Den.
I will be working on Vertical Flash Drop Down Menus that are xml driven as the Lucid Menus don't work very well when your embedding flash into the main body...
Having a such fun with Drupal I would feel horrible not making a pay pal donation after posting this as Drupal does make me look great!

Hardly The BlueZone any more!
I have continue to edit this theme. The only qualities left are the underlying template values that i have edited as well. To keep things Simple I would call this theme "Touch of Gold" I will con the original contact the original developer to see if he would like to create another branch of this theme for downloads ...
Please let know if any would like to see this end result added to the Drupal/Project/Themes download selection...
Cheers,
Johnny
Touch of Gold will Be added to BlueZone Project!
Hello All,
FiNeXdesign, has agreed that "Touch of Gold" is a sharp enough edit of the original theme that it will be added to project/Themes on Drupal!
I am looking forward to creating other reedits of present themes and new themes in the future as I have been editing Drupal themes since Drupal 4.6
Kind Regards!
Johnny
absofreakinglutely add the theme!
i swear if i see one more blue colored theme, i am gonna choke somebody!
I am with You....
The last thing I feel is Blue when I use Drupal!
I feel I have experienced the Midas touch!
Drupal is everything I desired for my online business and every time there is a new release I feel as though I am not the only one that believes Christmas is not a Day but a Feeling. Merry Drupal to All and to All a more noticed Time on the Web!
Warmest Regards!
Johnny
Intergration with third party Flash
We get so much for free from Drupal we can't expect all those great modules builders to do more with Drupal than they already have at their own schedules that are already set! I am no master site builder out of the box but my site has come a long way in the 2 years with Drupal - and I have never broke the thing past repair. With the help of some very cheap but great quality Royalty Free Files from the Fashden, and some very cheap audio swf file building programs from Vertical Moon. I have a great multi media site that has great Search Engine and Godlike Management appeal only found with the Drupal infrastructure!
I am so happy I am going to wander over to that donation do dad and donate more money now!!
Happy Site Building!!
Johnny
things to come royalty free files... and cheap screensavers!
