Testing Needed For New Drupal Theme 'Kupo'
I will soon (hopefully within the next 2-4 weeks) be releasing Kupo. This will be my first publicly available Drupal theme via drupal.org.
I know that testing of Drupal themes and modules is generally an iterative process which happens once the theme or module is available for download, but thought that it made sense to catch any blatantly obvious problems before an initial release.
So, please feel free to click around the new theme and let me know what you think and/or find.

It would actually be a good idea to release the theme already so people can test it in their own environment. There's nothing wrong with releasing early and ofter, and creating the official and supported 1.0 branch in 3 or 4 weeks. Now the only testing can be done with the pages and modules on your demo site. That way, people can not test how it looks like with tagadelic, tinymce, views, panels, profile, ...
I must admit it looks really great, even the forum. Nice work!
nice!
are you considering any variations? like fixed width, or columns on right and left?
I think the skip to content should be a plain link not a button style link.
I also think the logo, title and slogan should go horizontal not vertical.
The theme you are using on this blog is better (sorry) why dont you release this? just without your watermark.
Heh, made an account over there to post about this, but I'll do it here.
The home link in the breadcrumb points back to http://lhmdesign.com/. That may just be an effect of the environment the site is in, but it was surprising to say the least. The other "Home" links point to /kupo, so that's ok.
Hi, thanks for all the comments so far :)
@ Wim - fair point about the testing. I'll get it released as soon as possible.
@ Justin - yes there will be both a fixed and fluid width version (like Garland and Minelli), and the columns are interchangeable - so you can have one, two, or three columns on either the left or right.
@ Tim - no need to apologise! I'm not going to release my blog theme as it's part of my identity/branding, and as such I want it to be unique.
@ Island Usurper - nice spot - I will correct that, as I guess (sadly ;) not everyone will want to be re-directed back to my own site!
Nice.
Suggestion:
You could add min-width for layout.
On Opera, the logo + title area is too small and displays a horizontalscrollbar which obscures about 20% of the total height.
This looks quite similar to a problem in Bluebeach appearing on some project pages like the release edit form.
Wow nice theme, I love the design!
Please put it up for download somewhere and then I'll run it through my theming-sandbox to see if it can withstand my test setups.
@ Drupal Theme Garden - there will be a fixed width version as well, but I guess you mean a min-width on the fluid version - correct?
@ FGM - thanks, I'll check that out :)
@ All Drupal Themes - glad you like it. I'll release it as soon as possible, and do another post to let people know where it is on drupal.org.
Hi... I love to help...
Need your info...
Thanks & greetings from Jakarta - Indonesia
Yes, I mean a min-width for fluid layout (in order to prevent "collapsing" of main region when browser window isn't big enough).
Looks great! Thanks for contributing this amazing theme to the Drupal community!
@ Viking - thanks, either check out the Kupo live demo now, or else I'll be glad of testing once I release the theme via drupal.org (hopefully pretty soon)
@ Drupal Theme Garden - OK gotcha, thanks
@ Nathan - Thanks, I'm glad you like it :)
seems to check out well in firefox 2.x on mac
Look's OK in IE6. Is that a final design of your theme (including the color) ? For me the blue color seems too shiny
Nice! Is this a drupal 5.x or 6.x theme?
@ Dorian - thanks
@ Jafar - the design is final for now. I understand that the blue might not be for everyone so I'm looking at either releasing alternative color schemes or perhaps attempting to integrate the color module functionality which Garland has. However, I will initially release the theme as is
@ Sean - thanks, it will be both 5.x and 6.x
Looks awesome. You should institute these Tabs for the wow effect. These are hot! http://woork.blogspot.com/2008/03/clean-tab-bar-digg-like-using-css.html
Just wondering.. have you released the theme yet? Haven't heard any updates in awhile..
@Steven - no I'm afraid I haven't released the theme yet, but it is still definitely coming - I've just had a few delays recently. I'll do a post as soon as it's available for download.
Great to hear its still going to be released. Cant wait :)
Great theme !!
I was wondering if the home-button is active by default ?
Great theme there..I hope to see more of this in the times ahead.!
Hey Laurance
Just wanted to say it s one of the best looking themes I have seen.. good usability too.. too bad it is not been released...
are there any problems with it?
Any updates when the theme will be released?
It has magazine layout and looks great, but I can't seem to find the theme in the project page. Please let me know if you have a problem with CVS, well, at least I know TortoiseCVS as I am running windows :) I released my own early dev themes just to see any possible bugs I missed. There are some input, and so I can develop my themes better. So be bold if you'd love to release it :) Thanks
