New Look for 2006

No, it’s not a post about my new glasses, although they’re pretty awesome.

I thought it was about time I updated the theme for the site, so I had a bit of a dig around on TypoGarden.org to find a decent theme to use as a basis for a new theme. I eventually settled on Unoriginal Sin, which looked nice and minimalist, although the JavaScript it was using to draw drop shadows broke Typo’s Live Search feature.

So I replaced the method it was using to generate the drop shadows, and fixed up the Live Search feature, and it ends up looking like this. I wanted to do some nifty fade out effects on the “sidebar” (they’re down the bottom now, so it’s hardly a sidebar) boxes, but it will require changing the page background and I haven’t yet found an acceptable background colour other than white.

You can download this theme if you wish to modify it for use on your own install.

Now I can resume working on other things.

    Nice theme!! Have you made it available anywhere? I’d like to base the theme for my blog off it. Thanks!

    There you go, I’ve added a link to download the theme. :-)
