RoopleTheme is proud to announce the release of Tapestry, a theme for Drupal versions 5 and 6. Tapestry provides Drupal users with many advanced features including:

  • 20 Different Color Styles
  • 30 User Regions
  • Custom Block Theme Templates
  • Suckerfish Menus
  • Icon Support
  • Advanced Page Layout Options
  • Simple Configuration
  • Custom Typography
  • IE PNG Fix

To view a live demo of Tapestry, visit the Tapestry Demo Site. Complete instructions for installing and using Tapestry can be found in the Tapestry Handbook.

Tapestry's tableless CSS design validates to XHTML and CSS specifications according to the W3C web standards. Tapestry is fast-loading and compatible with most modern browsers including FireFox, Internet Explorer, Safari, and Opera. Most of Tapestry's advanced features will work even in older browsers like IE6.

We've validated many Tapestry pages with the Accessibility Valet, and we believe that Tapestry generates markup that is generally in compliance with Section 508 web accessibility guidelines.

Tapestry is designed to take particular advantage of two Drupal contributed modules. Using the Theme Settings API Module, Tapestry provides a simple interface for managing it's many features and options. And Tapestry provides a large collection of custom block themes for use with the Block Theme Module.

Tapestry is available for download on the Tapestry Demo Site Download Page.

You can also download Tapestry from the Tapestry Project Page on Drupal.org. However, drupal.org rules prevent us from including the Tapestry icons (which are released under Creative Commons) in this distribution. You'll also need to download the ThemeSettingsAPI module and the BlockTheme module separately. If you want the full package, download the theme from our site.

(Note: We're just starting the CVS work to get Tapestry loaded on Drupal.org. The project page link may not work yet.)

Thank you!
It is really great. I've been looking for a Section 508 compliant theme for a long time.
I would have one suggestion though. Section 508 requires a skip navigation link, something like the Zen theme has. If that could be implemented, I would be ready to use it. Not only me, but many of my clients have been looking for a fully Section 508 compliant theme.
Thank you:
Tom

Since I couldn't find the out of the box solution, I have made some minimal changes on the site. However, with Drupal 7 the problem was solved automatically.

to keep it super fast loading, and remove burly header logos, have you considered enabling pictotitle support (fblike theme does this) - it also uses themesettings api...
