I really liked the original design for Elegant, but it was lacking in a few areas.
What I've done is compressed certain tables, moved around content a little bit, and changed the colors to match silver black and white. This leads to a color set that isn't distracting, but nice enough that people won't complain about ugly background colors. 😁 It helps users focus on your content, and not the way your site is designed.
This theme may be in a future Tikiwiki release. As of right now, it can only be seen on Open Source Gaming as a PhpNuke theme. I still have the original code whhich works with Tikiwiki if anyone is interested. Questions and comments are appreciated!
Updates
- With the release of Tikiwiki 1.8rc3, it's time to consider whether to redo the theme or switch from silvers and greys to different variations on blue.
- This theme survived the upgrade to Tikiwiki 1.7.3, and with a test bed on another site being set up, it will be ready for everyone else by Tikiwiki 1.8.0
- This theme survived the upgrade to Tikiwiki 1.7.2 in a graceful manner, so I'll probably tie up some loose ends and then pass it on to mose for inclusion in the next release.
