Theme development

Question in developing a new release of the Drupal Theme Generator Program

I am currently working on a new release of the Drupal Theme Generator Program (http://drupal.org/node/36302). A built-in Preview utilizing a preview.html file is used to view the themes on your local machine for quick review.

The problem I am having is that the Firefox browser does not display the referenced images that include a file path in the style.css file. This only affects Firefox and works fine in Internet Explorer 6.

For example, the following three images which include a local file path will not display in the Firefox browser:

/* Custom styles used for graphic image type themes */
td.header-topcenter {
  background: url(file:///C:/My Documents/Drupal Theme Designer/Preview/header-top-center.png);
}
td.header-bottomcenter {
  background: url(file:///C:/My Documents/Drupal Theme Designer/Preview/header-bottom-center.png);
}
td.header-leftcenter {
  background: url(file:///C:/My Documents/Drupal Theme Designer/Preview/header-left-center.png);
}

If I remove the file path statement and just use the image names as shown below, then the images appear in Firefox:


/* Custom styles used for graphic image type themes */
td.header-topcenter {
background: url(header-top-center.png);
}
td.header-bottomcenter {
background: url(header-bottom-center.png);

Hey everyone,

I am a complete CSS newbie...you may remember that about a week ago I was looking for someone to help develop a theme for me. Samat in particular expressed an interest in helping me develop the theme, and I am thankful for his time. But I ultimately decided to try and do it myself. I suppose the spirit of open source CMS got to me. :)

hi,
this is a very simple question.. :)

i'm having problem fix the page width, it jumps around when I open between pages.

for example,

i set the width to 800 pix max, but when i open my node the width changes

can someone help ? tks

Hello

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, so appologies if wrong.

I'm currently running MDPro and am looking to migrate to Drupal. I have a theme I love, and is quite slick, but clearly it was developed to run on the MDPro Theme engine (AutoTheme). I am no where near competant enough to translate this over to one of the Drupal Theme engines, but am quite happy to pay if there is a cooperative designer out the willing to take up the work.

Any takers, respond privately with your email address and we'll talk.

Many Thanks.

While recently browsing the A List Apart website I found a article titled Print It Your Way describing how to develop a print style sheet.

I thought this would be easy, but how would i get the $base_url value in phptemplate?
