Anybody knows if box_grey will, or when, will be made compatible with Drupal 6.0?

If not, which theme is most similar to box_grey and is compatible with 6.0?

Any suggestion for alternative to box_grey...?

Thanks in advance.

Possibly, probably. I'm not really sure what to do with it. It really needs a major overhaul and modernizing but I don't have time right now.

I do have one site that still uses it, so I'll probably update it when I move that site to Drupal 6, but I have no idea when that will be.

Of course if you or someone else submits a patch I'll be happy to apply it and do a release...

I'd also like to know, which theme for 6.x is most table-based rather than with all that CSS floaty crap? That is just messy, gimme straight HTML any day of the week.

I'm trying to work with Framework, but as "bare" as it supposedly is, all this CSS floaty junk is just screwing up my good HTML tables, until I can't figure out WHAT to do with it!

Just don't see the point of trying to "fix" what ain't broken (HTML that is)...

Or I may just go on and create my own custom theme with this YUI thing, since I finally went searching for "6.x" thru ALL the modules today and found a YUI module. Better to make my own I think, than try to figure out someone else's CSS who doesn't even know there has to be a space after each ; and : in CSS definitions (except for the a:link type stuff), and that there has to be a ; after EVERY declaration, even the last one in a list. UGH! I have to go over just about every stylesheet I come across these days, just putting in the proper spaces and punctuation.

At least box_grey has a sane HTML table basis.

And loyukfai, I believe that one of Drupal's default themes, "Pushbutton", is also mostly table-based; it looks pretty straightforward to me.

I made some changes according to the theme update guide and it seems to work... See below node for more information...

There's an official 6.x version available now.

I have to laugh at this rant...

For the first thing - div's are HTML and CSS is well, CSS. And no, you do not need spaces after colons and semicolons - take a look at the CSS for d.o itself (minified and all unecessary spaces removed).

You are confusing pseudo-class syntax with declaration syntax - these are two different things.

a:link <- selector with pseudo-class :link
a { color : red ; } <- declaration block with the property "color", value "red"

A closing semicolon after the last declaration is optional - its merely a separator for multiple declarations. I cannot recall any A grade browser having issues with these basic standards.

Take a look at the W3C spec on CSS2 (at minimum) - http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/

IMHO the Framework theme looks like a pretty solid piece of work.
