I say Unconed's little drops and said: "Damn, how come that he, with so few pixels can create something that smooth...". That's why I went down in my .gif archive and smoothed the drop in  footerleft.gif, (the pipe with the open end in which you see a drop). It looks better now, maybe you won't see it but I do. :) I have drawn every gif pixelbased and that's why it's difficult to smoothen edges and stuff. I can't work well with the gimp and if you want certain cool effects you have to know how. Since creating a cool effect with the gimp takes like 15 weird tricks and layershuffles and filters and merges and keep transparancies and you don't get any result before you do that final step which suddenly gives you this wonderful thing. I think it's just too hard for me...
Nevertheless, here's the new footerleft.gif, you might want to check out htpp://jeroen.drop.org before Dries loads it up, otherwise you'll probably think I'm crazy :)

Jeroen.

Fixed a small bug, there was a ';' too much in a echo "" which would just be printed like normal HTML text in the abstracts' and articles' headers...

Jeroen.

Updated the stupid fonts issue (the conclusion was to use *EVEN* font sizes and not uneven as Dries recommended... bah! :)

I also added a small icon (like marvin.theme) to spice it up a bit.

Removed useless images (that stupid theme.gif that looked cool, but was unimplementable in NS) and added a cool icon.gif

OK I wrote a lengthy text with my previous commit, but due to an Up-to-date check failure it got aborted. So here it is in short. I added the translation functionality and fixed a bug that would cause the comment's subjects not to display. Apparantly it's comment->subject instead of just subject. I also wanted to make something in the comment header a bit more clear I already changed some colors but I would want the comment's rating/score to display black. It's grey now and on a grey background it isn't so clear to read (lisible in decent english?). So I added something that I thought would paint it black, but obviously it didn't. It's still grey. I didn't remove the code, it's only two lines, because it also works this way. For the rest I don't think that anything changed.

Jeroen.

P.S.: Dries, I think we can release it tomorrow, but wait and upload it to http://jeroen.drop.org first so I can check. And at noon we'll let it out. It's yearning to, I can here it growl and make roaring noises in my laptop...

- removed the "colour sets" from my theme: the color variables (except for
  $link) are no longer needed by the engine so I decided to tidy them up -
  I recommand you to do same if you feel like it (and if you haven't
  already done so).

- fixed bug in block placement when (1) using a theme with 2 side bars
  and (2) being logged out.
  (reported by Jeroen)
- themed "Editor's note" in theme marvin.
  (reported by Jeroen)

OK, now it's finished, really. Fixed a small gfx glitch, and the categories seem to be called sections now...

It's done, and ready for release. Really.

Jeroen.

I placed all the blocks left, regardless if their region was left or right, what I did was this:
theme_blocks("all", $this);
in my left <TD>.

Now I changed it to
theme_block("left", $this);
in the left <TD> and
theme_blocks("right", $this);
in the right. If everything was this easy.

OK, really, this theme is NS4.7 NS4.76 mozilla (but mozilla 0.8 cuz he's buggy as hell with the BACKGROUNDS in TDs) and IE comliant or compatible, whatever it's being called.

Jeroen. -- Happy.

Jeroen.

- improved comment module - code revision
- improved backend module - moreover headlines now work
- (automatically) stripped tabs and trailing whitespaces from
  Jeroen's theme.

This solves the _my_footer_pipe_was_one_pixel_too_low_ problem. It should display OK now. For the weird upper-right navigation box Dries, I really wouldn't know what goes wrong. I don't have the problem. Haven't changed a thing on the boxes, My winme's IE doesn't have the problem... Maybe netscape 4.7 just displayed it wrong only once. Try it again, and if it keeps going wrong. I'll download NS 4.7 and will try to fix it. (That'll be my fourth browser then)

Jeroen.

P.S.: I think my theme is completed... Of course the code might need some cleaning up but I think it is ready to be used by droppies without giving away the code. That'll be in the next drupal release.

Deleting redundant .gifs since now I work with that table in table thing to create borders around boxes. Nothing has changed with newsmiddle.gif so don't expect the backgrounds behind the stories' titles to differ.

Jeroen.

Small bug fixes, added some NOWRAPs and other stuff. This is also an attempt to fix the widths of the boxes on the sides... I don't know if it'll work, and frankly I doubt if it would... Let me elaborate... You know that I have three colums, one for the left boxes, the middle for the stories and one for the right boxes... I didn't provide a width for any of these <TD>s. That's why it chose it's width randomly. Then I set them to these values, respectively 20 60 and 20%. That went OK, but another problem occurred. We only have boxes on the main page. And on the other pages. e.g. faq, submit news, search... we only have the <user>'s account box on the right. This results in a large white border on the left (lost space). That's why I did the following... but I am afraid it won't work... I set the widths to: <no width> 100% 20% So, now, when we have boxes on the left it'll display them, when there aren't any, the middle <TD> will take up the rest op the space, being 100%, it worked fine on my computer with my browsers... But since I use the kind of browser no-one else uses (linux mozilla 0.8 which sucks and linux NS6.01) it is no reference. I would want to stress again that my theme isn't mozilla compatible or how do you say that, in fact it'd better be mozilla isn't jeroen.theme compatible, it's buggy as hell with the backrounds. OK enough for now, let's see if anything good happens to my theme.
Dries, be so kind to get my jeroen.theme working at http://jeroen.drop.org.

Jeroen.

Made some "major" changes in how I display comments, articles, abstracts. It won't show much different but the ones that know my theme a bit will se a small change. I don't use .gifs anymore to display the borders of the articles e.g. but a table in a table, so you get a small black border. It looks nicer, and you need less .gifs, which is, in my theme an improvement :) I also themed the comments, they weren't yet, and I didn't know it was my thing to do. I still ain't happy with the comment's headers, but it's a start. Just check it out at http://jeroen.drop.org . Things to do, get the footer's navigation bar display nicely and find a better way to display the comment's header. Nevertheless I think it's doable. It's 01.40 now I think I'm going to sleep. But first commit and delete some .gifs from zind.net.

Jeroen.
