New blog design, old will be commited

Submitted by sign on Tue, 04/22/2008 - 17:43.

After one year with the old design, I have decided to re-design my site in my spare time. It took me 2 days to make a new design (using gimp(, including logo (blender+gimp) and then drupal theming. Yes, it was that easy with drupal. ;)

old drupal themeI am going to contribute the old theme, which quite a lot of people liked, to d.o. focused on blogging. I hope that someone (maybe acquia?) will create a nice install profile for bloggers, once. I am just tired of seeing everywhere posts like "20 Excellent Wordpress Blog Designs", etc... :) drupal can do it better we all know it ;) Can't wait to see showcases of drupal sites on popular magazines such as SmashingMagazine.

And btw, my Calendar icons were featured on smashing magazine. That means a lot of people (I guess most of them bloggers and/or designers looking for inspiration) hitted this drupal blog.

I will soon post an update on rootcandy and other projects.

RootCandy update: Usability add on

Submitted by sign on Sat, 03/01/2008 - 00:24.

Another update of the admin theme RootCandy. This time I have tried something I wanted to do in the first version and also what was suggested in usability group afaik. Everyone knows that forms on node edit or add and admin configuration might become very long.

I've moved all fieldsets into the right sidebar, and implemented thickbox (all with jquery and theme_fieldset). See some screenshots how it looks like. It's not tweaked, and currently this is available only on node/add and node/nid/edit pages. I know that for example input format fields should stay under body, this can be easily changed. This is a dev snapshot.
