Drupal 5.0 beta 1

By dries on

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the most exciting beta release of Drupal yet, Drupal 5.0 beta 1! It fizzes and it whizzes so grab a copy of it here:

http://drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-5.0-beta1.tar.gz

It comes with many new features, including a web-based install system, improved administration tools, and a shiny new theme! There are also tons of under-the-hood improvements, such as the inclusion of the jQuery JavaScript library, node access system improvements (ACL), and many improvements to the Form API.

Getting this beta nice and stable is essential to releasing Drupal 5.0, and to do so we need your help! Read on to find out how....

Garland, the new default core theme

By dries on

We both know that the most important impression you need to make is your first one. So after more than two years, Drupal has a new default theme. The new theme is called Garland and was created by Stefan Nagtegaal and Steven Wittens. Garland will ship with Drupal 5.0.

Better yet, we added a color picker that allows administrators to change the theme's color scheme without having to touch a single line of HTML/CSS. So not only brings this new default core theme raw beauty, it is actually the easiest to customize Drupal theme in existence.

A lot of hard work went into the creation and selection of a new core theme. Thanks to everyone who submitted candidates that weren't chosen in the end. We'll add (or replace) more themes in future versions of Drupal. Great job guys!

Drupal 5.0 has a new default theme: Garland

By robertdouglass on

And there was much rejoicing; Drupal has a new default theme for 5.0! The search for a theme to ship in the upcoming release of Drupal has been long and hard. Many people came forward with excellent submissions and the discussions that ensued were often heated and intense. A tremendous amount of work has poured into the effort. Happily the result is quite good. Meet Garland, the new Drupal 5.0 default theme, by Stefan Nagtegaal and Steven Wittens.

One of the things to notice about this theme is its color picker. Conceived late in the night at BarCamp Amsterdam in 2005, this color picker, named Farbtastic, is among the best of its kind. With the use of the color picker, every graphic in the design of the theme can be altered to fit into either a pre-selected color scheme, or one that you design yourself.

For more information about this theme, check out the extensive discussions that have played out on the developers' mailing list as well as the issue tracker.
