03/17/11 -- Chamfer hasn't had a public update in a long time but it is still under development in-house. A new version with lots of accessibility updates will be released with Alpha 3 of ELMS and then eventually here.
Core theme of the ELMS distribution, Chamfer is a fully configurable theme that's easy on the eyes. It also has some nice JavaScript in the settings pages that allow you to turn different aspects of chamfer on and off. It's also got a colorize-like field-set system of changing everything about the theme. The theme gets its name from the little edging effect applied throughout the website (hoary for CSS!).
Feature list:
- Supports 1, 2-left, 2-right or 3 column layouts!
- Cross browser compliant (outside of IE6/7 right now)
- Ability to change most color aspects through theme settings
- Comes with some default templates that look nice out of the box
- Ability to turn logos on and off
- Implements Logo as the header / banner image of the site
- Ability to turn content border on and off
- Implements Super-fish for Top drop down support
- Support for the Jquery Color-picker module to make color selection a lot easier!
Features as of .3
- Ability to configure what blocks to display as the default style or the specialized style
- Body theme property set correctly
- Ability to generate new templates (at a code level) which could be contributed back to the project to be included in future versions!
- Better organization of files
- All fieldsets collapsed on theme settings page
Future features:
- More granularity in super fish colors
- Ability to upload top and bottom logos through browser instead of current ftp method
- Ability to upload background patterns
