plonetheme.basic 0.3

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 some variables have been added for quick color customizations.

• Goes back to table-based layout. (Not the best, I know, but it’s so simple!)

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

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

Changelog

0.3 (Apr-07-2011)

• Display an arrow for the user menu in IE6/7 [cwainwright]

• For elements entered in the visual editor - moved the styles to a separate stylesheet and made the selectors more specific. This way, clearing the styles is easier, and they won’t conflict with styles for elements in custom templates. [cwainwright]

• fixed some default styles to work with webcouturier.dropdownmenu [cwainwright]

• increased z-indexes to avoid conflicts with add-on products like webcouturier.dropdownmenu and collective.easyslideshow [cwainwright]

• moved extra dtml variables to a new properties file, so that themes without all the variables won’t error out [cwainwright]

• Fix up the restructured text [claytron]

• set #portal-columns borders to collapse, to remove little bits of space [cwainwright]

0.2 (Nov-22-2010)

• fixed styles on livesearch

  • increased z-index for compatibility with webcouturier.dropdownmenu

  • removed white space from top for IE7
