Re: A New Default Theme for Textpattern - Request for Proposals

That is exactly my opinion, Jonathan!

The only problem is, the template must not be too complicated. Complicated design templates are somehow much easier to :-(

Regular users must be able to catch on it…

Wouldn’t it be nice in a base install to be able to choose one of two (blog or cms flavor) – or potentially even more – themes? But of course this would require some templating system to be part of core ;-)

Re: A New Default Theme for Textpattern - Request for Proposals

So guys,

I’m done!

This is my first proposal for a new Textpattern Default Theme, and it works in all browsers incl. our beloved friend IE6.

Demo: Txp Default Reloaded (http://test.the-netbrain.de/)

Its a clean and simple design with two columns and some CSS3. It looks modern and clean.

I like the layout nice and clean. But I think the content needs to go before the sidebar in the markup.

Looks nice indeed. Any chance to take a look at the Txp-markup?

Re: A New Default Theme for Textpattern - Request for Proposals

I like it Andreas. Very simple. Very neat. Very cool methinks. :)

Two minor points:-

The site name in the copyright could be linked using <txp:site_url /> and <txp:site_name /> tags which should always work wherever it is installed.

The CSS was ever so neat until I reached the “comment form” section so could you re-do that bit to match the rest, that is to say, each selector on a new line with a single “tab” indent? Keeps things consistent. ;)

Re: A New Default Theme for Textpattern - Request for Proposals

Thanks to all you guys!

@ Stuart: You’re right!

Point 1: I would like to add site_url

Point 2: You’ve got me. I’m going to give me more trouble with the clarity of the CSS :-)

Re: A New Default Theme for Textpattern - Request for Proposals

Thanks, it looks nice even from the inside ;-)

Actually, since I had some time thinking, wouldn’t it be cool to include some of the Txp Tips in a default theme?
Tips like these come to mind – to name but a few:
Share This invite using only CSS
Using txp:variable to improve your comment header
Personal greeting in comments form

Re: A New Default Theme for Textpattern - Request for Proposals

First: Let’s see whether this Theme becomes standard.

Second: then we can see what we can still integrate
