Theme tweaks

Submitted by Edwin Voskamp on Wed, 09/08/2010 - 17:59

Did some modding of the theme.I fixed the vertical size of the content area, with an automatic vertical scroll bar.  Simple CSS stuff (set the height, set overflow to auto).In exploring Drupal 7's theming changes and tracing a full page generate, I realized it would be quite trivial to replace the hard-coded paths to the home page and other content background images withone dynamically generated and pulled at random from one of two different directories with background images.  Of course, I still need more background images.

More graphics

I like the (now mostly fixed-up) theme, but I want more personalized and more appropriate background photos.  Having made my home in Portland I want photos that say Portland to me, to Portlandians, and people from outside Portland.

I put in some quick-and-dirty free stock photos, but the search continues.

Well, it's basically up and running: Alpha 6 of Drupal 7, a dev version of the theme (Earthish), dev versions of a few contrib modules ot make life easier, my logo (a cleaned up scan of the monogram of my signet ring, colorized to match the links), some minor layout, and all the content slaughtered across that is going to come across.  I set up a custom 404 page, redirects for stuff that's was just a redirect page to external destinations, and identified the content that is going off-site.
