Themes: Envision_IT Theme

Posted by: rabideauOn 2004/12/6 7:39:01 4340 reads

Hello all,

Please feel free to visit and comment upon my newest theme for Envision-IT.org

The site may be reached at:http://envision-it.org

The theme may be downloaded here.

This theme does a few non-standard "things":

1. In the center text body section (System-->Admin--> Blocks) the Center Left and Center Right blocks appear at the top of each delivered webpage (forced by theme design). This allows dual columns to appear at the top of your web page; the single Main block will follow below all Center Left and Center Right Blocks.
2. The site is set to display at a width of 1000 pixels.
3. The side Menus are combined into a single right-hand menu.
4. All content blocks are contained in theme.html.

Enjoy!

Even this theme is non-standard size you should set it to auto-width and this is bad for people who will need to drag from left to right, like me I will just quit when I see it.

The theme is set to a fixed width of 1000 pixels, meaning that if you have a horizontal scroll bar in your browser you'll most likely be using a resolution of 800x600. I was using that resolution when I got my first 386 DX40 computer back in 1993, perhaps it's time to think about using a higher resolution .

I have used the auto sizing and most of my users complain. Perhaps I only have people with old machines or laptops but most seem to like the screen width fixed at just under 1024px.

But as you noted it is easy to set the leftfloat such that it auto-sizes... and the code is free for you to change.

My biggest struggle was with the combining of menus and the two column display in my leftfloat. Luckily IE is mostly non-standard so making IE look like Mozilla/Firefox/Netscape was not MUCH of a problem.....
