Drupal 4.7 Base theme [Something we can all agree to use and support]
Howdy gang, I wanted to know the status of "Vancouver"? - 4.7 Flexibility - Regions, other features. - tableless - theme snippet library compatible - symantic html / css What I want -- and again, in the end, it'll need to be a comprimise, I understand that -- Is a clean, base theme that we can all use to build our custom themes on top of. I'm sure there are other goodies we should have in there too, but... we need something we can all grab and start using, and most importantly easily upgrade. I also suggest we make the name of this base something generic, such as: drupal-base-theme [DBT] ? heh Ideas?

I don't know if steven is here. If the current push for the reworked theme system goes through, we will be in a position to be able to refactor all drupal's theme output. I personally believe the default page.tpl.php should be this theme. On 05 May 2006, at 8:54 PM, Trae McCombs wrote:

Agreed, the default page.tpl.php should be sexy along with the default CSS. Should be a nice, extendable theme. Right now, things are progressing in this area and hopefully we'll have some code soon to start testing. ted

My goals with the theme I've been working on have been simplicity, and the ability to get css to hook onto just about anything. One method that I used to accomplish this was to cut down on Classes and IDs where two things shared attributes. For example - A node and a comment both have an author name. So I used the same class declaration for each. This way if someone simply wants all author names to be styled the same way there it can be accomplished in one place, and with less css. If they wanted to make a comment author name different it would be as easy as specifying the ID "comment" before it's subclass. Erik (chromatic) Trae McCombs wrote:
