Darkshades theme finished
Just recently I finished a [url=http://www.silverstripe.com"]SilverStripe[/url] theme called [i]Darkshades[/i]. If you're interested, you can see it showcased on the SilverStripe website here: http://silverstripe.com/darkshades/ Recently SilverStripe participated in a Google funded project called [url=http://code.google.com/opensource/ghop] GHOP[/url] - abbreviation of "Google Highly Open Paricipation Contest", similar to the Google Summer of Code, but with much larger participation, and open only to high school students. Amongst other tasks completed by the participants to the project, SilverStripe received a large portion of [url=http://silverstripe.com/themes]new themes[/url] to compliment the small few that were there. GHOP students worked hard to convert current designs, or create their own into SilverStripe using the theming engine. Some interviews with a select few hard working GHOP students were conducted and can be read here: [ulist] [*]http://silverstripe.com/23-new-silverstripe-themes/ [*]http://silverstripe.com/interview-with-jeff-ghop-student-in-the-silicon-valley/ [*]http://silverstripe.com/interview-with-wojtek-our-prolific-polish-ghop-contestant/ [/ulist] Thanks to all the GHOP students for their hard work!
My first SilverStripe theme
First of all, I'd just like to say that what I'm seeing working at SilverStripe is awesome. SilverStripe 2.0 is now nearly 2 years old, and is getting better day by day. Thanks go out to everyone involved in trying to make the SS CMS and framework outgrow it's initial inception. Anyway, more to the point, we now have a great new theme engine which allows you to switch your theme with a single like in [b]_config.php[/b]: [b]SSViewer::set_theme('blackcandy');[/b] And the theme goes into a directory of the same name, so [/b]themes/blackcandy[/b]. I'm happy to say that this site's design you're looking at is what I managed to come up with for a theme called [b]darkshades[/b] - not the most inspiring name... but, in a relatively short time I managed to get this up and running (2 days). Some issues however, could be IE6/7 rendering - but then again, who's really surprised? ;-) Some great inspiration: [ulist] [*][url]http://www.cssremix.com/[/url] [*][url]http://www.ndesign-studio.com/[/url] [*][url]http://www.webdesignerwall.com/[/url] [*][url]http://veerle.duoh.com/[/url] [/ulist]
