Oh, if you do that, make text #000, then you could get away with .node .submitted boing #666
Or would you disagree there too Ken?
No, I agree. Submitted is the perfect place for grey or light text. It's 'extra' information that I don't need to read. Making it a lighter color reiniforces that. Making it lighter actually gets it out of the way of the 'real content.' - Ken agentrickard
Hi everyone, I'm the person who has been working on the Deliciously Zen theme. To quickly respond to some of your comments/questions : 1) Are there both fluid and fixed versions? This is already done. The demo site is running the fixed theme but there is a fluid one. I just switched the demo site to fluid. 2) Can it handle multiple columns, layout structures? Yes, works fine thanks to JJeff's zen XHTML/CSS 3) User login block alignment is weird! I agree. Probably spacing the "Create new account" text down a bit and aligning it with the mission statement will help. 4) The text should be black on white! The font sizes are weird! The font color was pulled directly from the original Deliciously Blue theme. I'm hesitant to start fiddling with colors. Font sizes still need tweaking, though. 4) Some of the warning/message icons are too big or loud! Looking for some alternatives if you can point me to any direction. 5) Padding is weird/inconsistent! The devil is in the details. The "submitted by" text needs some separation from node body. Trae you mentioned some browser padding inconsistency which I think is particularly important. 6) Search box could be moved down or somewhere else? Original design has it in the upper right hand corner. I could also see it being flush with the header line, though. Again hestitant to stray from the original design. 7) Primary links alignment is odd! Agreed. It should probably be flush with the Site Name text or with the left side. 8) Threaded comments? Forums? Example content? I added some threaded comments on the demo site. Feel free to login and add new content. I have given authenticated users privileges to add content: http://www.drupalart.org/drupal48 9) What about other stuff? Secondary links? User profile pictures, etc? Other bugs? Yes, these things still need to be figured out. Any concrete action items should be posted here: http://drupal.org/node/81217 -Farsheed (zirafa) --- Ken Rickard <agentrickard@gmail.com> wrote:

that's not too bad... That search box has issues, but positioning is nice. And if you have the same padding on the right of your search box from your right margin as you do on the left of your tabs and the left margin, then you will set up a nice balance. I do like the new Tabs spacing and such better the way they currently are, new search block would need to reflect the same styling as the new Tabs. But in the position you suggest (as in the mockup) On 9/1/06, adrian rossouw <adrian@bryght.com> wrote:

I'd like to point out that that mockup was based on yesterdays design and I like todays a lot better. I think the only things from this mockup that we should take with are the: 1) Search box, placement/design 2) Node info should be more like the mockup. (not 100%, but a bit closer) 3) Want drupalicon back :-( Although a logo isn't 100% necessary I agree with the pimping of drupal.
Adam, to be clear, my feedback was on Today's most recent work, not the older work. On 9/1/06, Adam Cooper <adam.j.cooper@gmail.com> wrote:
