Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.
If you want to make your own look, all you have to do is make a subdirectory under "chameleon", and make your own style.css file. Whatever you do in that style.css file shows up as a possible theme in the theme chooser.
What could be simpler? Okay, you do have to know how to write CSS, and that's not at all simple.
Lots of reasons. We don't have a lot of theme designers playing with Drupal. Making a generic flexible theme that will handle, 1 column, 2 column and 3 column displays flexibly and easily is hard. The theme engines we have are simple enough.
It has a bit more commenting in it then the example in the handbook. It is a slightly modified one that I use on my site. My site still has a number of css issues I need to figure out. Primarily around dealing with images. On a css scale of 1-10, I'm a 2 and have a ways to go.

For example ... take the chameleon theme.
