I really like how the theme is set up. I just need to know how to change the colors. I know a lot of color changing can be done through CSS and editing images. I just can't figure out how to change the background of the site, without changing the background of the middle column too. I would also like to know where in the CSS the code for the calendar colors are. I would like the colors Red, Grey, Black, and White if needed.
I would like to change the default look of the standard HTML tables used on my site, and haven't found any methods for this.
Basically I want to add some borders to the tables, some cell padding, and possibly add column headers. I would like this to apply to the whole site, including table lists generated by the Views module, if possible. I'm using a modified version of the Combustion theme (PHPTemplate).
I've been working on a new site using Drupal 4.7 and have created a theme based on the kubrick theme as this seemed the closest to what I needed.
I'm used to working in Firefox and it was a shock discovering that the site is more or less a wreck viewed in IE compared to Firefox. I have spent hours trying to get the line between left column and the footer stretching from the top menu all the way to the footer, and thought I had found a way in: http://test.kinflicks.no/
i've just moved from mdpro (+mdforum - phpbb2 fork) to drupal... and my users are moaning about the forums of course. I am reading lots of theming docs now, but for now i can only share one small hack...
Drupal puts previous and next topic links just in #content of node... my users pointed out that it looks ugly, and i agreed... what can i do about it? I managed to do it without modyfying core files, but maybe there is some other way?
my hack is
1) in node-forum.tpl.php add just above first div new div that looks like
Phptemplate passes on the full $node variable to allow more flexibility, but if you are in a taxonomy/term view, the $node->body is unavailable, only $content which in that case is the teaser. I could fetch the full node node.within node.tpl.php but this would be inefficient. Any idea why the body is not there?
