Box_grey
Box_grey is intended to be relatively easy to modify for those that aren't competent in css positioning. It uses a hybrid CSS/table based layout designed to be fairly robust with different sizes of content and has a neutral grey colour scheme.
Currently box_grey is packaged with one theme-style variation called box_cleanslate.
27th January 2007 Update
First initial release for Drupal-5. Changes were made to the link colours in Box_grey, and some extra css was added for the new admin layout, but apart from that the only changes are for compatibility with Drupal-5.
9th January 2006 Update
The stylesheet (style.css) for both box_grey and box_cleanslate has been rearranged, the colour and border declarations are no longer clustered at the top of the stylesheet having been merged with layout declarations. A template and CSS styles for Image module was also added at this time.
Box_grey uses the XHTML 1.0 transitional doctype (to allow for site users to post non-strict content). It has a standard three column layout using a table for the central three columns with a header above the table and a footer below. This reduces accessibility and adds a little code bloat but has certain advantages:
- The content columns won't overlap if a user inserts wide content.
- The content appears in the template (page.tpl.php) in the order it appears on the page.
- You can add any sized logo image, the header should expand to fit.
Known Problems
IE5win
- Places calendar block right margin a few pixels outside the viewport.
- Gets the padding/margin on menu elements a little wrong, but not unusably so.
IE5mac
- Has some problems with user pictures enabled, it may (somewhat randomly) increase the left margin on the node content text to match the right margin of the picture.
- Doesn't honour the styles for links with class="active", these should be pale grey.
Everything
- Fixed width content like the form textareas in the central column can make the sidebars shrink if the browser window is narrow. Again, this looks a little odd but remains perfectly useable.
