Two new themes are now available for public use. You can find them at http://drupal.org/project/acta and http://drupal.org/project/bluefire. Let me know what you think about them.

Best regards, Derek

I took the time to tag your screenshots properly so that they would show in the correct image galleries when viewed. I also took the time to add a link to the project page of each so that those who found the theme using the image gallery would have a direct link to the project page of each.

Hey thanks! What did I forget? I am pretty new at posting into the cvs repository. I appreciate the help.

Best regards, Derek

Ah, I read the screenshots guidelines book page again and the answer was in there.

Thanks for the heads up!

Both of these themes are XHTML strict validated save for a comment in the block.tpl.php of the acta theme. I will be patching that as soon as I can however, as mentioned above, I am new to the cvs bit and my cvs client wincvs is a monster since it uses some different syntax than the examples. For instance I think that I have to use the command rdiff to patch the files...

I will be trying to roll the patch out as soon as possible however in the mean time, the patch for that is as follows:

Also, I really would like some constructive criticism of these themes so please be verbose!

Right now the only people who have given me any feedback are family members and their input is likely biased.

Thanks, Derek

okay some feedback that isn't from a family member :-)

Very much liked the acta layout - nice and clear and crisp. I'm very much a left hand menu man so the menu's on the right doesn't go well. The small banner heading makes sense particularly when my family members have limited screen space and my mum never scrolls down.

I liked the bluefire menu arrangement more - many sites are using tabs.

This is my favourite theme http://www.bonvga.net/fblike. I didn't have time to test your theme but in many cases it's what works for the audience - for my older family they need big buttons for the younger ones they want flashing lights!
