Modified Foliage Theme

Finally Seeing the Light of the Day!

2008-07-17T22:29:00.005+05:30

Its been seven months since I started work on this beautiful theme called Foliage, and I am happy to say that today finally, it sees the light of the day. Not because it was tough, because one I was too busy and second I am too lazy.

Coming to the point straight way, the things that have changed are,

the theme is now fluid width, meaning it occupies the 100% width of the user's screen and every thing else adjusts on its own
Major fixes for Javascript pertaining to Internet Explorer, Firefox 3, and Safari browser.
Last but not the least, the theme is now licensed under MIT license which allows you to use the theme without attributing me or my blog (still I would prefer), you can use it for profit without any royalty to me (let me know the way too), and feel free to edit/update/delete/add to the theme.

I would appreciate if you could drop a Thanks on my blog, and let me know the blog's address you are implementing this in. I would update the site for everyone to see it live (and you get more visitors). You can download the theme from here. If you have any problem implementing it, raise an issue here, and I would try and help.

Keep Walking!

Modified Foliage for download!

The Modified Foliage Theme, currently running on this blog, is now available for download! You may download the theme from the source repository at Google Code.. The current version is a development release and hence there might be a few issues with the theme. One known issue with the theme is the absence of popup-widget feature. The IE6 flicker problem has now been rectified.

You may read more at the theme's home page.

Thanks a lot Rudi, for reminding me to upload the theme. Please feel free to contact me for any issues that you face. I would request you to log the issue at Google Code.

Foliage (in XML) Preview

2007-10-03T00:00:00.000+05:30

Welcome! You are currently browsing the final preview of the Foliage theme, converted to the XML format.

I am done with the original conversion of the foliage theme completely to XML. There are slight differences, due to blogger changing its API in version 2.

Please let me know your feedback and comments. I am also working on a modified version on the theme, with lots more options like a place for widgets, more bookmark options, calendar based navigation and lots more AJAX. So keep pouring in your thoughts.

Template - TODOs

2007-09-26T22:00:00.000+05:30

A few suggestions have dropped in, some of which I would be incorporating in the template, sooner or later ;)

Calendar based in-theme navigation.
Self-comments distinguishing.
Tag Clouds instead of labels.

Keep pouring in your suggestions. Thanks to all!

Theme - First Draft

2007-09-24T22:30:00.000+05:30

I am pleased to write here that the initial conversion of draft of this wonderful theme, Foliage (check the original Wordpress theme here) to Blogger 2.0 format is almost done. There are a few fixes it needs, once I would add a link for you to download the theme.

Issues remaining:

Links to feeds, posts and comments, need to be corrected.
The AJAX part needs to be working.
Few alignment issues.
and yes, TESTING :)

Feel free to drop your suggestions, I might include them in my theme.
