Comment:

Gone are Core, Babylon, Classic and Curve. None of SMF's themes had our preference. So we took the (pretty good) Curve codebase and built a new default theme upon it, using HTML5, CSS3 and jQuery.
Its main goal is to be easily extensible, which is achieved through the new Skins feature. See below, as well as the 'Forward thinking' section. Wedge's theme is both beautiful and has the cleanest possible code.

It's more 'wine-ish', actually. Since it's called Wine ;)
Sorry, my bad  :eheh:

You just create a custom.css file, put it into your styling folder, and add a few lines to rebuild the main color scheme for all parent objects (i.e. everything that was used as a parent by inherited classes.)
This should automatically be applied to your style.css and override it.
Also, if you need IE6-specific hacks in your code, just create custom.ie6.css, and so on.
Holy cr4p Nao.........
I have only just learnt to type with two fingers  :lol:

Yeah, that is all that's needed but if you're not technical it can seem scary. As I said, we'll explain more in the future.

We can probably build something, later on, to allow you guys to change colors more easily.
I already have plans to make it possible to customize the CSS variables without changing a line of code. Although that will be very limiting.

My talents are very limited - so any help - in whatever form - is appreciated.
More than you will ever know.

Thanks gents for your guidance

error handling
« Réponse #21, le 13 Juin 2011 à 16:22 »
Not entirely sure where to put this question.

Any chance of creating 404 etc error handling pages using Wedge theme rather than those crappy server side ones?

Thanks
Billy

Wedge already does it from its own folder... doing it higher up requires some ninja/voodoo.

I'd love to support your fresh approach with a few new themes as I did with SMF 1.1.x

I loved some of your themes.

I have to say, I never really looked at 1.1.x themes before, but I gotta say, I just took a look at your work and it does look pretty good. I'd love to see any more themes you work on. :)

I am glad to see you are moving away from the SMF themes, good going  :cool:

Thanks! Just as curious as everybody else to try the "new" theming system. Keeping fingers crossed for easier (and more fun) theme creation :-)
