Are there any plans (or is there a desire) to introduce some basic typography into the 960 theme?

If so, I'll be glad to start work on this feature. But if this theme is intended not to have things like that, that's fine too.

Thanks!

No plans for vertical alignment. There's too much baggage in Drupal that will kill any attempt without rewriting module styles.

Typography? Maybe. Unsure at the moment.

On second thought, I might actually consider vertical alignment because I'm working on another theme that does rewrite module styles and it was done so with vertical rhythm in mind amongst other things. All my time has been going into that theme and there's still plenty of things to do so NineSixty will have to wait a bit.

I gave Todd a copy of a module I'd written a while back that has a form and will generate CSS with vertical rhythm. You can take a look at it in action at http://drewish.com/tools/vertical-rhythm . We'd talked about seeing if we could rework it so instead of giving you something you could copy/paste it'd write the .css file out for you and include it.

Actually, drewish, I use your page for that quite often. Thanks!

I've been working with the 960 theme regarding this and #484200: No node.tpl.php and hope to have something to post within a week or two.

That's really interesting. Thanks for the heads up. I bookmarked it for future reference. Been doing the math manually. :)

Most of the work is applying them to the right selectors. Form elements mostly and I got it all handled in another theme. Just need to copy it over.

Indeed, I'm intrigued by this as well.

I'm currently moving a lot of elements around. The changes will include vertical rhythm. Stay tuned.

No problem. I'm working on a spinoff of this theme, though at this point, I've changed the column widths and a bunch of other things, but if you're interested, let me know.

Thanks!
