Update – Theming With The Color Module

Since writing a couple of weeks ago about how I was looking to develop a theme for drupal.org which utilized the color module I’ve had a little time to start designing something, and I’d be interested to hear peoples’ comments, suggestions etc.

The first example uses the default Blue Lagoon color scheme (click for a full sized image).

The second example uses the Mercury color scheme. (Ignore the link color for the minute, I haven’t quite figured this out yet ;).

Mercury color scheme

The design incorporates all the usual bits - logo, site name, tagline, breadcrumb etc. - and I'm thinking of putting the secondary links below the primary links so that they would be associated with the chosen primary link (i.e. if you had two primary links - 'Fruit' and 'Veg' - the secondary links would show up as 'Apples, Bananas, Pears' if 'Fruit' was chosen, and 'Carrots, Peas, Cauliflower' if 'Veg' was chosen) - good idea or bad idea?

Let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Laurence.

Nice Drupal Theme.

You should commit this theme to http://drupal.org/project/Themes

I would very interested in seeing the primary and secondary navigation as you describe. If you do that, I hope you'll post an explanation of how you set it up.

Thanks for the comments guys.
In answer to your suggestions:
- I will definitely be committing this theme to drupal.org once it is ready.
- Dan, that's a good idea. Watch this space...
