New Drupal 6.x Theme

Finally, I got to the point where I upgraded to Drupal 6 for this website.

The regular readers might have noticed that there is a starking change in the theme. Earlier, I was using another theme, Alek 2.0. A beautiful theme, but it seemed to have problems with Drupal 6.x - or atleast with the set of modules I had installed.

Hence, I thought I would do "a quick and simple" theme myself. The result is here, and it can be called to be in a beta state - not sure if I would release it or not because the CSS is a bit messy. It turned out to be not that simple.

There are a few things I will be fixing in terms of styling the links (you can see a lot of blue and purple sprinkled around currently) which would all go monotone and be harmonized. Drupal, striving towards flexibility gives a lot of class attributes to the numerous elements and I am yet to have a full understanding of the theming architecture to do it efficiently.

I still remain impressed though - the theme as it is currently requires only one style CSS file, one tempate file (page.tpl.php) and the .info file.

Expect few more changes around here.
