Drupal 7 Version

Yes, I am actively developing Framework 3 for Drupal 7. I haven't left all of you in the dark ;)

It is pretty much a rewrite of the theme, based on the default system tpl files with a few added features and simplifications along with the same well-structured and time-saving CSS file as before. Also, since the Seven administration theme does the backend work, Framework will now only ship with frontend support, drastically reducing development time and increasing update frequency.

I have finished the tpl files for the most part over the last week. It uses HTML5 sectional elements such as , etc. It's all quite clear when you see it. The doctype is HTML5 by default as well. I will begin writing the CSS next week. I have chosen a CSS reset to use and the default structure and styling will be very similar to previous Framework versions. I plan to have Framework 3 released during the Release Candidate phase of Drupal 7.

My goal with Framework 3 is to make developing themes easy and intuitive and keep people from having to reinvent the wheel or deal with massive bloat every time they develop a theme. It should be very easy for Framework 2 users to make the jump to Framework 3 for Drupal 7. As of now, I don't plan to port Framework 3 to a Drupal 6 version unless there is some huge outcry.

I am interested to look at your patch to see what you have done. Thanks for taking the time to make it.

Thanks @larowlan for this. Doing a D7 dev site and this has been a big help for me.

Something for others to note is that you'll need the 2.2 release to successfully apply this patch -- or, at least I did and my patch skills are rather limited http://drupal.org/node/340097

It's interesting to see that various themes are being developed around html5. So far i've found http://drupal.org/project/boron and http://drupal.org/project/zentropy and http://drupal.org/project/html5_base along with http://drupal.org/project/html5_tools module.

First of all, Framework is a starter theme, i really like to start with and i am glad to see, that there will be a D7 Version. Ist it possible to tell, when the D7 Version will be realeased?

THX for this theme

Test it out everyone. It's pretty bare-bones, but should be pretty familiar. It's not meant to be used as an administration theme, as the built-in "Seven" does a damn fine job.

Hope you all enjoy.

THX a lot Andre! Gonna check it out asap! ...

3.1 rollout will re-include secondary links for two-level menus. (remember to change menu settings where both primary and secondary links point to "main-menu")
