Made a new template today, at http://techblog-template.wikidot.com. This is a meaner, leaner blog. There are some neat aspects that almost but don't quite work right.
I'd like every blog posting to show an image, and have this appear in the start page. This requires that ListPages can extract the first image attached to the page. The ideal format is image floating left, and title plus first paragraph floating right.
Making this blog and theme set showed up some bugs in the rainbow theme, which I fixed (especially the search box sitting in the side bar, which was kind of silly).
There is still tuning to do on the themes: they don't work in Opera, it seems, and some of the colors need tuning, especially grey on grey text that disappears in some of the themes.
Comments and suggestions welcome. I like the idea of themes with no images, that can be trivially customized, and which are designed to fit with specific templates. This seems to make a neat package.
I like the theme. Nice work on that.
However I'm struggling to understand how this navigation thing works :S It looks complicated, and feels complicated. And are you sure it's working properly? Seems to be showing the wrong pages in the list… :S

Oops.. the system (and most likely admin as well) categories are still using the theme that most template sites use. Was this intentional?

Well, it was intentional to use a 'grey' theme for system and admin. I did not have a grey theme for this style yet, but I do now, so give me a second… :-)

Is the navigation more clear now?

Much better IMO. However I think it'd look better if the drop-down list's contents were smaller ? ;)
edit: Actually… it's this that annoys me more :P

Duh. Sorry! Of course I can fix that.

And in fact I already did change it yesterday. Am posting the updated code into this site. It may all break again when I use images.
