How would I make a theme?

Miss Dreamstar · Mar 28, 2012

I know quite a bit about HTML and CSS, and am looking to make a theme. Can anyone give me a tutorial?

I am working on one right now, but you may be better off looking at the base template that is included with the theme until I get it done. ;3 I've tried to make it as simple as I can.

You just need to use the variables that are standard.

Id recommend you to use the 'Main' theme as base, it is easier to get started this way.

Do you know which files I would edit? The CSS?

Here's the base theme that is now available for download in the primary download:

PHP:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>
<title>:BROWSERTITLE:</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="stylesheet.link" type="text/css" />


</head>

<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr><th colspan="2">:LINKSBAR:</th></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2" id="image"><span><a href="index.php">:SITETITLE:</a></span></td></tr>
<tr><td id="menu">
:SIDEFEED:


</td><td id="content">
<h1>:ARTICLETITLE:</h1>
<p>:ARTICLECONTENT:</p>

</td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2" id="footer">
<p>★ Powered by <a href="http://www.mysidiaadoptables.com">Mysidia Adoptables</a> ★</p>
</td></tr>


</table>
</div>

</body>

</html>

The different calls

BROWSERTITLE:, :ARTICLECONTENT:, :LINKSBAR:, :SIDEFEED

tell the script where to put each item.

The CSS/HTML is all up to you. ;3 If you'd like to see what is possible, check out some of the sites out there.
