Hardwood 1.1 11/7/2004 Donovan Bray, donnoman@donovanbray.com

Adapted from The Rainy Day theme that came with Coppermine 1.32.


Functional Differences from Rainy Day:

I added a "Home" button as the first option in "Main Menu 1", its simply a HREF to the root folder of the current URL and can be modified by editing theme.php.

The template.html file was modified to allow for a logo to be placed on the template_r2_c10.logo.gif slice.

The buttons I created and use are slightly taller than the ones that came with Rainy Day.

The theme doesn't use items in the hardwood/resources directory, you only need them if you want to make changes to the theme itself. They can be removed on a production server.

The wood effect and buttons were made by using tutorials from the following website:

http://pegaweb.com/tutorials/web-design-and-adobe-photoshop-tutorials.htm

I used Adobe Photoshop 6 and ImageReady 3, with some layout work done with FrontPage 2002, as well as a judicious amount of text editing with notepad.

The latest version of this theme will be downloadable from http://www.geocities.com/donnoman

If you like the theme; shoot me off an email. I'd love to hear about sites that are using it.

This theme is released under the same GNU/GPL terms as Coppermine and the original theme "Rainy Day".


Known Issues:

The "Home" button in the Menu1 area isn't localized. If you need to edit it you can find it in theme.php.

Revision History:

11/7/2004 1.1
Fixed Template.html Problems with large Title sections and small window sizes.
Added a fixed logo slice that isn't repeated when the Title Section Expands (template_r2_c10.logo.gif)
It's no longer necessary or desired to replace template_r2_c10.gif; It repeats if the Title Slice expands. Replace template_r2_c10.logo.gif instead.
In the released Theme: template_r2_c10.gif and template_r2_c10.logo.gif are exactly the same, the notes above explain how they are used.
The logo slice is now a HREF to the document root of the current URL.
Edited the class file to update the listbox background colors.
Edited the class file to use white for default links
Replaced the rating .gifs with those of the CPG 1.32 Fruity Theme.
