plonetheme.basic 0.6

An easily customizable theme for Plone 4

Introduction

Plone Basic is a theme for Plone 4. This theme works well on its own, but is meant to be used as a base for heavily-customized sites.

plonetheme.basic is similar to plonetheme.sunburst – styles were copied from Sunburst, and modified as outlined below. Appearances are very similar, but this theme has been set up to be more easily customizable.

• Uses base_properties, and custom .props with some variables added for quick color customizations.

• Uses Plone Default’s table-based main_template.

• CSS does not use !important, except for padding on content icons

• Cleaned up CSS selectors for efficiency (http://css-tricks.com/efficiently-rendering-css/)
