I've started working on a new theme, and would like your feedback. Please take a look at http://geiss.getmyip.com/gl141[*1] and give me your thoughts. At the moment, it is based on GL v1.4.1, but potentially, this could be a candidate for a replacement to the professional theme in the next release of Geeklog (if the core devs give their blessing :wink: )
Thx!

OK, I know this is an ongoing discussion on the mailing list... but, tables?

Re: tables - I received word from Oliver the other day on the devel mailing list:
left-blocks-in-footer variable from the config.php and defaults it to
true. In adition, I added the right-blocks-in-footer variable and
defaulted it to false.
If you change one of them now in the function.php of the template, you
can create CSS themes w/o any tables.
So tables won't be there for much longer. :wink:
Re: the other colors for plugin rows and background, I'll play around with your ideas and make some adjustments.
I am also wondering what people think about GL in XHTML instead of HTML transitional. Check out dengen's work at http://www.trybase.com/~sun/[*2] . They have converted the entire GL codebase to XHTML.
Thx again for input, and again, please keep it coming!

Why is everyone hating on tables?
Me, just because it reduces flexibility. If everything is in well-planned DIVs etc. then you can create layouts/themes by just editing the CSS.
Otherwise, no real issue for me really.

Change .pluginRow1, .pluginRow2, .pluginRollover so that their background colors are more distinct than #F7F7F7, #E7E7E7 and #FFFFFF. The difference between #F7F7F7 and #FFFFFF is just too subtle.
The background could be a bit less dark, # 333333 perhaps, or a gradient from # 000000 to # 333333?
I've adjusted the above. You can see the .pluginRow changes by going to the stats page[*3] .
Thoughts?

1) I think the grey background for the rightblocks section is too dark.
2) Not sure I like the colour of the menu links along the top of the page against the dark background - or perhaps that is just interference with the diagonal lines?
3) I think that you should remake the Geeklog logo to suit the background colour. Some artefacts in there.
Great work.

You are really good with this stuff.
Since we can apparently be picky....well, I think the blue color on the white areas is a little too bright. It is OK on the black. Or maybe it is the white areas that are too white?

When I need to use themes in actual business settings, lots of dark colors bothers people. Light and airy wins the day. So, the charcoal border could be a problem for me.
Also, one thing I like about the current professional theme is that it runs to the edge of the screen. Call me old fashioned, but this new fangled look-n-feel that everyone is sporting that has the white space (wasted space) border around the whole site leaves me with precious little room for content on my 1024x768 displays. I know it gives it a more modern look, but then it crams everything together in the middle.
I guess I'll just have to catch up with the kiddies.

I agree that GL needs a new logo.
I've been looking around at some open-source imagery, but haven't been able to find something suitable. Perhaps we need to sponsor a logo contest, and see if GL's creative community can provide some nice artwork that the powers that be could select from.Eric

Things to note are:
- A new site logo. Thoughts?
- A collapsible User Controls tab (haven't styled the tab just yet, but you'll see the link to the right of the Welcome and Date text) which toggles hidden content via a javascript slider. My thoughts are this could be a great way to clean up some of the content on sites, giving them some aesthetic "breathing room". There is also an Extras toggle on the bottom that can be used for the same purpose (again, not positioned or styled yet, but right above the Copyright info). Thoughts?
- A static menu dividing the header from the rest of the page. This can easily be generated from the GL {menu_elements} code, or just hard-coded links in header.thtml.
Right now, I have both menus up, for the sake of discussion. I chose to repeat some of the links because I wanted to show what it looks like both ways. Since the top blue menu is generated as just links, and the bottom black menu is generated with list items, I couldn't easily just have both menus pull from the same {menu_elements} code.
What are everyone's thoughts on this new menu vs. the blue one above the site? Could the layout benefit from both menus?
Thx!

1. Can we have the links in the "Topics" box styled like the black links up top? I mean, like I've done at http://www.retroreviews.net/[*5] , only less sucky.
2. While the top of the page looks cool, the rest just seems very much like the standard Professional theme.
3. If this is gonna be the new default theme for 1.5, why the hell are we talking about this in the forum, and not on the home page of Geeklog.net as a featured story? Honestly, excellent coders though the core team are, they've just got no sense of showmanship. They don't know how to get people excited. :banghead: I looked at the mailing lists for the first time yesterday, and found some wonderful, fantastic stuff going on behind the scenes, stuff I didn't know about because it was hidden behind a link that said "Mailing Lists" instead of "What's In The Works." Why is it behind the scenes? With the stuff going on with Geeklog, the devs should have the public eating out of the palms of their hands, counting the seconds 'til the next release, with baited breath and no small amount of sexual arousal.
/off-topic rant
On the subject of this being the new default theme for 1.5 - do it. For the love of God, do it.
(edit - why the hell doesn't my pasting in http://www.retroreviews.net/ create a link to retroreviews.net?!)

Why the hell is this topic in a forum called "Developers Only"? You may as well hang some razor wire and a sign out front saying "Those who don't know PHP will be shot on sight." This topic should be front-page news, Featured, with an open invitation for anyone to give feedback via the Comments. You, Geiss, should be saying "Look at me! Look at what I'm doing here, isn't it just made of awesome?!"

- A new site logo. Thoughts?
Sorry, when I mentioned the logo earlier, I meant that there were some specks in the background - I didn't mean to make an entirely new logo! Although the new one is not bad, as Dirk mentioned, the existing logo is already in use in other locations. Rather than mess up the branding, I'd resize/recreate the existing logo to suit the current background.
Otherwise looking good. I like the new static menu below the header and the expandable sections.

Exactly right Joe. To be clear, the theme discussed in this thread has not been given a green light for inclusion in GL v1.5 (yet). I just formally asked the core devs via the mailing list. If they want it, they will let me know. If not, then my intent is to release it to the community just like all my other themes. My main intent with this forum thread was to seek feedback on the theme, (and I am grateful for all of the feedback received thus far) and also show that there is more than just mild interest in a new default GL theme.
Now, a totally unsexy roadmap I heartily endorse. But apparently the devs have decided that time to spend on Geeklog should be time spent coding and not time making pretty "about Geeklog" websites. Certainly understandable since the devs enjoy the coding far more than the PR work. And when you think about it, if you made core dev work a chore, who would do it?
I heartily agree. Yet additionally, just because the core devs choose not to focus on the PR side, doesn't mean that it isn't needed and should continue to be neglected. I think it would be wise to enlist the aid of long time proven GL contributors (like yourself and others) that have an interest in these other PR needs of GL that often go by the wayside, and give them some responsibilities and some sense of ownership over the site, etc. I've often found that a good programmer does not necessarily make a good webmaster, or a good PR person, etc.
I also second the need for a GL dev roadmap. It needs it in the worst way! Even if it is just someone stripping the essence out of the dev mailing list and posting it somewhere on a static page. Something concrete to benchmark progress toward, focus on desired features, and give a general sense of ongoing development is highly needed. The forum is an ideal place for this. A read-only forum for the actual roadmap, and then developer topics and threads for each coding project. IMHO, that email list has served it's purpose, but seriously needs to be retired.
Calls for feature requests, pruning/prioritizing that list, assigning coding tasks/groups to each item on that list, following up as self-imposed deadlines approach, beta release, release candidates, final release. Start the process over again. Its relatively simple when stated in these over-arching terms, but at any given step with the way things are in their current state, I couldn't give you a clear picture on any of them. That is what a roadmap is for. To get you where you want to go. Without it, you're just driving around aimlessly.
Thx!

What we want, what we really need, is a designer (well, we've got Geiss, and I've been working on a coupla themes too...), a copy writer who can excite people, and some ways to get the word out.
Hmm. I may have to take a look at my schedule and see if I can fit in some quality Geeklog-promotion time.

And none of that is possible without the devs to tell the copywriter what to write. Which if they could do that they could put up some kind of page.
...not to mention granting site access to others to manage these things. Collaboration is hard to foster when there appears to be trust and/or control issues. I've always felt that actions speak louder than words, and trust with responsibility should be earned. But on the other hand, I know of a few regular meaningful contributors to the project that end up just being bystanders. Not because of their inaction or unwillingness to lend a hand, but because of the lack of action of those who hold the keys to delegate and off-load some of the burden.
Just my :twocents:

The last couple weeks have been so depressing I haven't wanted to even visit geeklog.net. But of course I did for some morbid urge to see who or what was going to get cut down next.
Beyond any of that, I do agree that a pr guy would be cool. and a copywriter that has ever done any shouldn't really need to be told what to write. They should be competent enough to figure it out. Like all of us who already click a few times before we find the info we're looking for, and we do find it eventually (don't say you don't), the info is there for the dude to do whatever he does with it, wrap it in a colorful bow or whatever...
even all this talk about a new default theme.. fine. it may be a good idea and exciting and all that, but when it looks like the new theme might not make it into 1.5, if even at all, then let's get down on the devs some more cuz surely they must suck.
Don't get me wrong, as I go in yet another direction, the theme in question looks great if even still "looking" like the present theme, and the new functionality that geiss has introduced into it is awesome--I'm impressed, btw--but because it remains so similar to the look and feel of the present theme I have to ask, what's the big deal? Why is my inbox full with questions like, "why haven't you given me an answer yet?" whether the question is about the default theme or some code that should be in the core or why nobody has asked you or you or some other you to be on the core team yet when you've done such awesome work for the community?
glad I'm not a core dev cuz you'd all be bching at me. I couldn't put up with the complaints. of course I can hardly put up with constructive criticism nevermind bching.
my 2 cents? if you want better pr, do better pr. Write some stuff up. Heck, geiss, have someone take all the current content from gl and put it up into your new theme, rearranged and rewritten or whatever, then show the core devs what "it" could be.
So I guess all that counts as a complaint too then, eh? whoops.

Clearly you all want the site to look great and be inviting and all that stuff that you mentioned, but you might as well be defacing the site what with all your complaining about this or that not happening the way you all think it should, etc. Talk about showmanship? don't.
Let me state for the record, I do not want to be a PR guy. I'm just someone who cares about Geeklog, and likes to make it look pretty. :wink: I think it unfair of you to put words in my mouth about how devs "suck". I've never said anything of the sort. Period. That's all I'm going to say about that.
The last couple weeks have been so depressing I haven't wanted to even visit geeklog.net. But of course I did for some morbid urge to see who or what was going to get cut down next.
To my knowledge, I've never participated in any of the behavior you describe above. If you feel I have, please point it out to me, because I am only human and perhaps my intent was misinterpreted.

I agree with you completely. However, like Mark Evans points out below on the dev mailing list this evening:
I've watched this thread with interest. The feeling I've walked away with
is that there seems to be a big desire to not include anything done outside
the core group.
Yes, some info is there. Some of it is current, and some is outdated terribly, almost embarassingly. Yes, one can do whatever one wants with it, but ultimately, how does duplicating content on another GL site help the main project? Wouldn't it be better to focus that energy in one main place, consolidating the community rather than fragmenting it?
Let me give an example. I saw a need for more themes for GL. I began porting, not complaining. I solicited feedback because I highly value others input, (not praise mind you, input - there is a big difference there) and feel that all ideas are important (part of the reason I feel it important to express my own ideas :wink: ) I receive feedback - not so much here, but at gllabs.org. I continue exploring different theme ideas, releasing my work back to the GL community that I feel I've become a part of. Time goes on, I see the need to document how I go about porting themes. Perhaps my knowledge will help another. I state that observation (much like I have stated other observations above) and Mark gives me Wiki access on his site and says, "Have at it!" The results of Mark's generosity, and trust, can be viewed here[*6] . My hope is that it has benefited the GL community in some way. Nothing more, nothing less. Fast forward a bit. I share with Mark that I am thinking about starting a GL theme site, and ask his advice since he has a great site. He gives me his thoughts among which is an invitation to use his site for that purpose and opens the door to me without reservation. He gives me full admin access to the site and full FTP! To say the least I am humbled, and have a lot of respect for him and his willingness to give me a shot. Since that time, I've continued with my theme creation hobby. A little while ago, I'm poking through the dev email list and I see several theme discussions going on (August's archive mainly). And Mark approaches me with the idea of a new theme for GL. I start working, and this thread is the result of that. I've never once said that this will be the new theme for GL. I said potentially.
even all this talk about a new default theme.. fine. it may be a good idea and exciting and all that, but when it looks like the new theme might not make it into 1.5, if even at all, then let's get down on the devs some more cuz surely they must suck.
Neither Dirk, Blaine, or anyone else has said the theme will not be included. I have directly asked Blaine yesterday, and echoed the same on the dev mailing list. I am patiently waiting for a yay or nay. I understand everyone is busy, and are probably debating it amongst themselves, as I would do if I were in their shoes. Whatever the outcome, I'm happy. If not included in 1.5, I'll release it as a stand-alone theme for 1.4.1. (And even if it is included, I'll probably release a stand-alone 1.4.1 version, since that what it's currently running on.) But here's the rub - a decision needs to be made on the theme soon, if GL1.5 is going to be going into beta sometime in November or the end of the year, as Dirk stated he would like to see happen in the mailing list.
Don't get me wrong, as I go in yet another direction, the theme in question looks great if even still "looking" like the present theme, and the new functionality that geiss has introduced into it is awesome--I'm impressed, btw--but because it remains so similar to the look and feel of the present theme I have to ask, what's the big deal? Why is my inbox full with questions like, "why haven't you given me an answer yet?" whether the question is about the default theme or some code that should be in the core or why nobody has asked you or you or some other you to be on the core team yet when you've done such awesome work for the community?
The look remaining similar to the professional theme was intentional. Again, my goal was to not re-invent the wheel, but to just give it a face lift. The professional theme is a good theme. Well contructed, light-weight, renders well across platforms, etc. All I am trying to do is build upon it with some new style. Please point me to an email from the dev list where "why haven't you given me an answer yet?" has come from my address.
glad I'm not a core dev cuz you'd all be bching at me. I couldn't put up with the complaints. of course I can hardly put up with constructive criticism nevermind bching.
I don't feel I've slighted anyone here. You are of course free to disagree. Either way, it doesn't matter. It's a dialogue, and that's what is important. I understand where you are coming from re: constructive criticism. Sometimes its hard to step back and be objective. Especially when you have worked so hard on something and others find little value in it. I think you'd agree though, what's worse is silence.
my 2 cents? if you want better pr, do better pr. Write some stuff up. Heck, geiss, have someone take all the current content from gl and put it up into your new theme, rearranged and rewritten or whatever, then show the core devs what "it" could be.
I don't want to do PR, but I do enjoy creating themes.
Mark has shared his resources with me, and I appreciate it and have been doing what you describe above. That is what http://geiss.getmyip.com/gl141[*1] is all about.
So I guess all that counts as a complaint too then, eh? whoops.
One final thought occured to me. Anyone following the dev list, please know that my crusade for XHTML is separate from the theme development I am doing. They are not dependent upon each other.
Thx!
Eric

...and the question: "why don't I have an answer?" is there (I don't recall the exact wording). It just wasn't made by you and my intent wasn't to suggest that it was made by you, but to refer the negative bits in general.
It's just frustrating to see the complaints, not even constructive very often, when I see these guys doing a better job than I think the majority of us would do and they have been significantly more dedicated than we have yet to prove ourselves to be, a few outstanding contributors notwithstanding. It simply unfair to talk "at" the devs that way as if somehow any of us has the right to expect our stuff to be included in the core just cuz it's good or that we should be considered for dev-hood just cuz we've contributed a million and one bug fixes. I'm beginning to generalize again I know... I'll just stop...

I've started working on a new theme, and would like your feedback. Please take a look at http://geiss.getmyip.com/gl141[*1] and give me your thoughts. At the moment, it is based on GL v1.4.1, but potentially, this could be a candidate for a replacement to the professional theme in the next release of Geeklog (if the core devs give their blessing :wink: )

1- The theme is now tableless, and uses divs for rendering the main layout. This is possible due to Oliver's hard work on 1.5, and it is much appreciated.
2- If you have been following the geeklog-devel mail archives[*7] , you'll see that a couple of the core devs have given their vote to include this theme in the 1.5 release. Yay! :chestslam:
So now the hard work really begins! What can you do to help? I'm glad you asked!
Visit http://geiss.getmyip.com/gl15/[*8] (note the difference now from the previous /gl141/ url) and poke around. I am hosting it from my home pc at the moment, so no guarantees on up-time. Any and all feedback is welcome. Please note that differences in GL 1.5 and 1.4.1 dictate that the 1.4.1 version use a table to achieve the main layout. I didn't want to mislead anyone on that. I am still considering releasing the theme as a 1.4.1 version, since a beta of GL1.5 is still a little bit out (read the geeklog-devel mail archives[*7] for the latest info on that front). My thought was to polish up the 1.4.1 version a bit, and then get it out the door in a week or so.
So please continue to sound off with your ideas! Let's make this thing really shine!

I'm really liking where this theme is headed. It features:
-Tableless design. Everything is DIV and CSS based.
-SEO (Search Engine Optomization where the center "story" column comes first in the code, followed by the leftblocks and rightblocks).
-Modular CSS files. CSS is separated by global layout, menu styling, color (soon to be anyways :wink
, and general style.css.-and some super secret mojo from the minds at gllabs[*11] ! 8)
Please keep the feedback coming! I promise it will be worth it! :wink:
Thx!
