This is really kool and should prove useful to both site admins as well as theme designers like myself :)

What it is, is a theme control consol. Allowing the site admin(s) to have more control over each theme.

In the consol the admin can define different variables such as:

- 10 different links and link text for each,
- Site name display,
- Site slogan,
- 2 Custom lines of scrolling text'

Now the designer may utilize these variables and include them within the theme.html like so for an example:
<h1><{$show_sitename}> - <{$show_siteslogan}></h1>


I think this is a kool idea myself, and I know im going to be using this for all my future theme designs. Not every site has the same modules installed, and also perhaps the admin(s) may want to have an external link implimented within the header.

This project is not ready for release just yet, but will be as soon as it is done being debugged.

For a sneek peek of the admin consol click HERE.

To see this in action visit our test site @ Area51.T-Tech.org


I would really love to hear some comments and feedback in regards to this project :)


Thanks, Danni :)

Looks great and neat! I look forward to your release and try it out.

BTW, would that have permissions too, i.e. some users/anonymous cannot see some links unless they are logged in or belong to a group?

Thanks!

Very nice themes. I fancied the techthemedefault, but unfortunately the text sizes are an absolute shambles for some reason, either minutely small, or horrifically large in some blocks and parts. It would be nice if it could look like your default flashthene text size wise.

I assume the x2t template is the one to use?

I will mess with the css to see if I can get it looking nice and balanced.

great work though
