Nice looking theme, live the icons, think you've done a great job. Havent tested it but looking good in the screnshots.

Pimp your Drupal 8 Toolbar - make it badass.

This is a great contribution. I wish more people would contribute their modded themes. Thanks for taking the time to make it AND donate it to the community.

It may be a bit wide in its current form.

Thanks Demain, appreciate it. Could you elaboreate on what you mean by too wide? It fits perfectly inside 1024 x 768 in many different browsers :)

I really like the screen shots of Black Mamba, but I've had some issues implementing it. I've been able to download and test other themes, so I know these issues must be directly related to my Black Mamba - Drupal configuration. I'm new, so any help/assistance to solve this thing is greatly appreciated! Here are the error messages shown on the themes page when I remove the black_mamba folder from my themes folder:

-warning: array_map() [function.array-map]: Argument #2 should be an array in C:\...\modules\system\system.module on line 966.

-warning: array_keys() [function.array-keys]: The first argument should be an array in C:\...\includes\theme.inc on line 1771.

-warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in C:\...\includes\theme.inc on line 1771.

Hi Clayton,

I believe you should first disable and uninstall it at admin > themes prior to removing it from the themes folder.

Good luck

Giorgio,

I would have disabled and uninstalled it from admin > themes, but immediately after enabling Black Mamba and making it the default theme, my localhost is no longer recognized:

"http://localhost/.../admin/build/themes - This webpage is not available."

I also noticed that after copying and pasting the black_mamba folder into the themes folder, when I view my available themes at admin > themes, Black Mamba is shown without a title.

There's got to be some limitation within my php or server configuration for this error to completely unrecognize localhost, right?

Hello Clayton,

Others seem to be having this issue as well, but with other themes:

http://drupal.org/node/376202

So this looks like a Drupal issue. I wont be able to dive into this as I am not a great Drupal programmer yet :)

Giorgio,

I was able to get BM functional by copy and pasting the unzipped theme folder to my C:\...\www\site\themes folder instead of C:\...\www\site\sites\all\themes (a folder I created as recommended in a tutorial).

Does that mean I should also put my contributed modules into C:\...\www\site\modules?

Is there anything I need to prepare in BM settings as a theme to build a flash .swf file onto a page?

Hello Clayton,

Yes, definitely. I remember this took me some time to figure out as well.

Modules and themes you install yourself should go to sites/all/modules or sites/all/themes

Thanks for the theme, I'm going to use it on one of my sites.

Can the icons be disabled on the blocks? Can I just comment out the icons.css reference in the .info file or is there a proper way to do this?

Thanks,
Ken

Hi Ken,

That seems like a safe bet. If you use Firefox you can install the WebDeveloper toolbar, and there you can easily play around with the css stuff live in the browser.

Good luck, and let me know how it went.

Cheers,
G

Assuming of course that I knew CSS, which I don't, but soon will. (Not a web developer.)

Commenting out the .info file didn't seem to work, so I just renamed the icons.css file. Maybe not the most elegant solution, but it works for now.

Im trying it out on a new site i am building but there seems to be a little problem.

The Preface bar isn't visible in IE6. This might be me screwing your css style but it might be a problem in your theme. Anyway I advice you have another look at it.

Also the menu on the right doesn't seem to work couse the center text is disabling it. The text doesn't overwrite it but it does make it unable to click on (only in firefox). This may also be my own mistake screwing up the css but I cant remember doing so.

Maby you want take another look at those errors.

I have installed this theme and it looks great. However, I am also having the same problem as the Preface bas isn,t visible in IE6.
Any clue,

Peter

Hi,
you need to change file ie6-fixes.css as follows:

find this in ie6-fixes.css file:

/* set minimum height */
#preface {
height: 1px;
}

and change line "height: 1px;" to "min-height: 1px;".

That's it.
