I blog to God but the sky is buggy ...


Drupal Colourise theme (EP.5)

I'm kicking around the Colourise theme for the next release (6.x-2.x). It's not just bug fix or more features but definitely radical change in code. The 960GS framework was removed from layout due to I need to add flexible page width for the theme (5 width levels plus fluid layout). But anyway, Nathan Smith's CSS framework always inspires me (and anyone) to create our own framework somehow.

For the new layout of Colourise theme, I got some idea and code sample from the Basic theme for Drupal. In my boo-boo opinion, this is not much as complicated as Zen theme or Genesis theme. It's a starter theme that stripped down version of the ZEN theme and help me a lot for working around a Drupal theme quickly and simply. (The live site evidence is there : TeacherOoh.com.)

And another classic resource for me is Matthew Levine's Holy Grail. This article was published on AlistApart 3 years ago but still useful for anyone who searching for One True Layout.

I'm mixing and cooking them all together in the new Colourise theme.

Hope this theme will be some more delicious, soon.
