Re: Textpattern Theme Competition
I’ve been tinkering around a little…what do you think?
I know the design of it isn’t really that important, but I would like to make it look decent at least.

Re: Textpattern Theme Competition
Looks great!
Hoping some contestants decide to produce some nice looking corporate templates in addition to blog templates.

Re: Textpattern Theme Competition
Sounds good to me. I’d be happy to see whether I could knock up a new template.

Re: Textpattern Theme Competition
Nice! Is the official date Jan 4 – Feb 28? It looks like it’s too late for my domain submission: textpiles.com :-)
I’m looking forward to this Thame. Thanks for your efforts!

Brian, you should know by now that I don’t do color :D.
Have you ever seen me design anything with more than slight tints of grey?
Just as a side note….I HATE INTERNET EXPLORER!!!

Re: Textpattern Theme Competition
I hate grey text on white and grey on grey. it’s very tiring to read due to lack of contrast. :(

I’m coding it right now, so I’ll see if I can darken and lighten up the right things for you.

Re: Textpattern Theme Competition
I should get started then, eh?
This contest should have no problem getting off the ground because TXP is the absolute easiest CMS/Blog system to design for, period.
And, although it doesn’t concern this topic too much, Textile is my savior. I love it 100x better than any other post editor, like FCKeditor, etc.
Good work! Can’t wait to see the themes that are pumped out.

Yeah, compared with the Typo contest which received over 100 submissions, we should get a lot more. I couldn’t even figure out how to install Typo, much less make a theme.

Re: Textpattern Theme Competition
I have a theme in the works now. :) This should be fun. Can we submit more than one theme?

Re: Textpattern Theme Competition
Thame,
For what its worth, I find the grays very appealing, relaxing, and when the colored templates roll in, it will maintain its elegance. Well done. The txp community is picking up. This is tight!
