Theme development

Hi,

I've been trying to edit the way the frontpage items get displayed.
I'm still relatively new to Drupal but have been watching the code for quite a while, and read the handbook on this site, but somehow it doesn't work...
I installed flexinode & phptemplate if that's of any relevance...

This is the code that gets produced:

I'd like to make quite a big change to every instance of theme_item_list, but I'm not sure how to go about doing it.

My goal is to tidy up the UI for users who are editing or creating nodes - basically make the editing pages more user friendly. I hope to submit this code to the 'useful theme snippets' section of the handbook. I think it would be of use to theme developers who are concerned about making user contributions to their site as painless as possible.

(I am using drupal 4.6.3 and modifying friendselectic theme (phptemplate) by editing the template.php and style.css files (so far). The modules involved in my set up are: Flexinode, tinyMCE, Organic Groups, Subscriptions, Filter (HTML filter) and Event.)

The problem I'm having is that I want to theme the page-layout of input boxes and their attendant help info via style.css. Each form_element block on an edit page is assigned the class 'form-item' but there is no other 'hook' that would allow for CSS to disintinguish between, say, the 'Title' element and the 'start date' element. What I'm trying to do with the following code (appended into template.php), is generate individual, html id tags for each 'form-item' wrapper. Seasoned programmers will no doubt think that it's pretty simple, in which case I'd be very greatful for your input :)

The code so far basically works on most input fields, but currently tinyMCE textareas produce some strange and unhelpful behaviour which I can't even begin to fathom! As a non-programmer it has taken me many long hours to get this far, and I'm amazed that it actually works to this extent! However, now I'm stuck. I would really appreciate any suggestions and help to get this up and running and available for all drupal themers.

The story so far ...

I can't figure out how to change the default black text that is everywhere in Drupal.

SS of what it looks like

or create an account and its in the comments section too... its everywhere... and I can't find out how to change it

Hi all,

I´m developing my first drupal theme and I´m having one small problem in IE.

I enabled the theme on this page:

http://poquer-red.com/directorio/castellano/portales/bonos-poquer

In Mozilla all works fine, but IE cuts a line of pixels of the sitename and of the first post title. Anyone have any idea of what can be the problem?

And if you use another browser and had problems please report it. Thank you all!

Breadcrumbs are really useful when they take you back the way you came. Wormholes are really useful for taking you to a parallel dimensions; which is the best way to describe what it feels like when a user navigates to say, an image node, by way of a neatly organized taxonomy page, but is returned by way of an image gallery (and vice versa). All previous context is confused by a new bizarro version of the same(or completely different) content. I won't even mention what happens when this is further complicated by taxonomy_menu pages, etc.
