Theme development

As I'm rolling out improvements and updates to the Smarty Theme Engine I'm wanting to convert some additional themes to increase its usage.

The current list is short, so

What theme(s) would you like converted to Smarty?

I'm trying to springboard off of FriendsElectric for a site and am having some problems with it right off the bat on two items so far:

First There is an issue in Safari where certain portions of the mid section overlap the far right side:

I'm having problems (as most of the people using the spreadfirefox theme). I'd like to change the size of the block on the right sidebar. You can see what i'm talking about here. Does anyone have a clue on how to fix it?

Hello everyone,

I'm attempting to implement graphical tabs for my primary links in a customized theme. I'm using the lastest 4.7 beta, and working off a copy of bluemarine, doing incremental changes to the CSS to achieve what I want.

I have already reviewed:

http://drupal.org/node/31704

But I've run into a couple of problems:

1. The page.tpl.php code it refers to [ if (count($primary_links)) ... etc] that you need to swap out to differentiate the active tab appears to have disappeared from the latest incarnation of the bluemarine theme. Where has this gone?

2. As a starting point for customization, I've copied in the css code at the node referenced above into my stylesheet, and I'm using the the tab graphics from http://www.alistapart.com/articles/slidingdoors. You can see the results here: http://www.whatdoesthatmean.ca which looks absolutely nothing like http://www.alistapart.com/d/slidingdoors/v1/v1.html.

At this point I'm not sure if that's failed because I've been unable to implement the PHP code change that's shown, or for another reason.

3. I'm also not clear, because the documentation hasn't been updated (I don't think - couldn't find it anyway) as to whether I need to download and install a theme engine separately if I'm using 4.7. I gathered from http://drupal.org/drupal-4.7.0-beta that PHP was the default engine and was incorporated into the Drupal core code, but obviously I could be mistaken about that.

Alot of my themes only give you like 500px space for the content or node. In the administration pattern alot of the pages there like settings page, for example are way too wide.

Is there an easy way to cram it into a fixed width?

Are those styles in misc/drupal.css I'm guessing?

Thanks

Jay

Hello,

I've been modifying CivicSpace's Declaration script all day and have become stuck on one part.

Any links that appear in menu Blocks (such as "Recent Blog posts" and "Who's Online") are stuck at #3366CC (51,102,204). I've managed to change every single other colour in the theme just can't find any trace of what relates to links within blocks.
