Theme development

I went to my site and Bamm! The whole CSS layout was trashed and the HTML body and other elements would not render in the browser. So thinking that it was a MySQL problem I ran emptied the cache. Nothing. Ran the backup. Nothing. I changed themes to bluemarine. Better but many lines were stilll missing. I installed the default chamelon theme since I was using a modified one. Nothing same thing. Since my internet connection died earlier I decided to set up on localhost and try some new stuff. I installed the interlaced theme on a whim. Whoa! the whole thing worked as it should.

I couldn't get the site slogan to display using the chameleon theme. I added the following to the chameleon.css template and it seems to work.

#header .slogan {
font-size: 1.2em;
font-weight: bold;
}

I'm not at all an experienced programer and I'm sure others will have better fixes but I thought this might help someone who is having the same problem.

Hello folks,

I'm a bit stumped here.

I just copied my 4.4 xtemplate theme to my new 4.5 installation.
My theme is listed ok but when I enable and set it as default I just receive a page stripped off everything except basic styling and content.

Can anybody give me a clue? I looked here and there but could not find an explanation to this behaviour.
The logs show nothing going on out of the ordinary.

Philippe.

Hi,

I was wondering if there are any tutorials on making themes for drupal?

I have read the documentation and it does not help one bit.
I pulled apart the xtemplate themes but it just went nasty.

So any more information would be great...
Or a good theme to rip apart and make themes from would also be great.

Thanks

Today I decided to switch to the phpTemplate theme engine, because I'll be needing a little bit more power for the events calendar on our site. The only "problem" was that I was quite satisfied with BlueMarine and didn't want to use box_grey, which is the only phpTemplate example listed in Downloads/contributed themes. That's why I converted the BlueMarine template to phpTemplate.

It may save others some time if my work appears under Downloads/contributed themes/BlueMarine_phptemplate or so. How do I upload it there ?
Do I have to create a project for that first ?

Hi,

Is the "Drupal.org" theme available for download anywhere?

Cheers
