Every directory in /styles is a different, unique, style. When a style is chosen, the style system replaces normal stylesheets for a theme or module with the styles own. It does this by replacing files relative to the original theme. Let's take an example, here's the output of DRUPAL_THEME_DIR/themes/moo/: +-DRUPAL_THEME_DIR/themes/moo/ | +-moo.css | +-template.php | +-moo.info | +-page.tpl.php | +-images/ | | | +-header-bg.png | +-logo.png | +-styles/ | +-georgia-font/ | | | +-moo.css | +-ocean/ | | | +-moo.css | | | +-images/ | | | +-background.png | +-day/ | | | +-moo.css | | | +-images/ | | | | | +-header.png | | | +-logo.png | +-night/ | +-moo.css | +-images/ | | | +-header-bg.png | +-logo.png If no style chosen, the theme will act normally. Day and Night styles the moo.css in the style overrides the theme's moo.css uses a the custom header-bg.png Logo.png is replaced by the same Georgia-font Uses moo.css with a modification of the site's fonts Ocean Custom moo.css with added background.png # See Tips: Theme stylesheet architecture ================= Optionally: Files dir ================= Color.module users rejoice. Styles.module supports all generated images and stylesheets natively by utilizing the files. This system treats the files directory as a different layer. The root of the file directory is treated as like the drupal_path, except for the permissions. So YOUR_DRUPAL/themes/moo/style/night and YOUR_DRUPAL/path_to_files/themes/moo/styles/night are treated the same. =========================== Tips =========================== - You can replace images in CSS as you wish, simple use relative locations. ===================== Theme stylesheet architecture ===================== Essentially, you can seperate styling across stylesheets to increase the theme's flexibility. If you are interested in a good architecture for stylesheets, see the Zen starter theme. (http://www.drupal.org/project/zen) If you are distributing a theme and want maximum configurability, you can for instance move all of your font CSS into a fonts.css stylesheet, and your images into a images.css stylesheet. You can also seperate configurable CSS (font, color, background) and non-configurable. Only the theme developer himself must determine what aspects of the CSS cannot be changed. Simply create two files, same statement, but different attributes. =========================== 7.x goals =========================== - Overriding of .tpl.php files - In lieu of the stylesheet architecture tip, perhaps a core patch to improve Drupal's stylesheet caching system. =========================== Style-compatible extensions =========================== Harmony (to be included) Link module styles attach to theme styles. Color Create customizable stylesheets and images - Method of creating customizable stylesheets - Interface for customizing colors - Generation system. Output directly to native style.module styles. Big bonus: Styles will work as long as they are properly placed. This leaves room for developers to create custom front-ends and applications for customizing styles through drupal. ======================== CHANGELOG ======================== See CHANGELOG.TXT
