	New Drupal Theme - Garland by Matt Mullenweg :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message The next version of Drupal is coming out with a pretty neat theme, called Garland. Here's a demo page where you can customize it and save you changes: http://acko.net/garland/?q=admin/build/themes/settings/garland This is pretty darn neat. Anyone interested in porting it? The toggle, logo, and shortcut icon bits are probably superfluous, but the color picking functionality is great. -- Matt Mullenweg http://photomatt.net \| http://wordpress.org http://automattic.com \| http://akismet.com _______________________________________________ wp-hackers mailing list wp-hackers@... http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-hackers

The actual design doesn't look hard to port, but the color picker might be a challenge.

Isn't porting leading to perception of imitation and catch-up? Personally, while it's doable, I wouldn't think it's a wise idea. It's like having Linux distributions prepackaged with Windows and OS X lookalikes (default, or among the themes). Themes become the identity of code that's otherwise invisible. It's all happening under the surface. At the back rooms, it's the brains (e.g. efficiency) that counts, not the 'eye candy'. Going back to the "less is more" and "code is poetry" mottos... One nice feature that Drupal offers is a global-type of user registration, which obviates the need to have multiple accounts. I am unaware of WordPress equivalents, but the WordPress.com joint cookies resemble this. IBM have bee pushing Drupal quite hard recently. I hope WordPress can shine through as not only a blogging platform, but also as a proven and self-acclaimed CMS. The subtle implications are a peril for those who seek to use it for applications that it's perfectly able to handle. As Mark says, "I(we) can do that with WordPress". Why not have WordPress state that rather than Mark making that fair argument? > So it would basically be like the Kubrick header color changer on steroids. > The actual design doesn't look hard to port, but the color picker might be a > challenge. I think that PHP or ImageMagick can do the colour transformation to generate static JPEG's. I can do that with ImageMagick, but then again, there's no assurance the Web server has it installed.

PHP via CSS can take care of that in one line and is guaranteed to work on all systems/platforms equally.

On the WordPress.org homepage, it says personal publishing platform. I'm pretty sure that covers cms. Although maybe there could be a wordpress release that is specially configured (with plugins and such) that makes it work as a cms right out of the box. This has to go beyond things like static homepages in 2.1. -- Dave W _______________________________________________ wp-hackers mailing list wp-hackers@... http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-hackers
