Hey,
there isn't any theme that would suit my needs, so I decided to make one. I have some skills in photoshops so the images part would be a breeze, but the coding part is gonna be tuff. I studied HTML and CSS for a time and PHP a little, but I dont know the steps to create the theme. Could someone give my requirements & steps?

Regards

Hi,

First you will need to fix the copyright in your current theme I do not see any links to here or AGPL 3 in the footer. I see you use an image with the copyright notice but sorry that is still a violation the copyright must be text, no images. As soon as you fix that come back and dwe will be happy to help you out.

There really is no perfect step by step tutorial on making themes.

A tutorial would build a theme from the writers perspective, not necessarily what you want.

You might start out by using the default theme Atlantis, a tableless based theme, as a building block.

It has your basic code for navigation, panels and the css code to build upon.

As you are learning you need to constantly validate your css and php

For table themes you can look at Gillette as that is pretty simple and basic to learn and understand. Most new users make themes based on Gillette to start, have no shame doing that its all released under AGPL after all. Change some colours mess around with it and you will soon get the hang of it. :)

I would advise to download your favorite theme, or something of interest that runs on PHPFusion.

Open up the source files, examine and study.

Under AGPL you can edit the theme to your liking as well.

In that case I would say edit the code and try new things.

Best,

Ok, just need some help, on this web http://iksx.6f.sk/news.php I need to align the menu so that it is floating on top of the header and horizontally aligned. I kinda have problems with aligning since I had to put position: absolute in the css.
