Genesis - A starter theme for Drupal 6



Genesis is a starter theme for Drupal 6 and is an ideal way to get started building your own Drupal theme. Similar to other frameworks the idea is to build a subtheme. A starter subtheme is included in the download. Using a starter theme makes building a theme faster and easier than starting from scratch.



Genesis Subtheme demo site. View the un-styled subtheme and use the theme switcher to view demos of the pre-built subthemes as well.



Main Features:



  • Provides easy sub theming.

  • 7 easy to use layouts included - view screenshots.

  • Use a different layout for each page-xxx.tpl.php file.

  • Fluid or Fixed width.

  • Built in snippets for aligning Primary & Secondary links center or right.

  • Additional regions - see a visual rendering of page.tpl.php.

  • Elastic design - all values in ems.

  • All core CSS is abstracted into mini-stylesheets, allowing you to unset what you don't need.

  • Prints many conditional CSS classes to make themeing easier - body, page, node, comment, block, header & nav classes.

  • genesis_LITE sub-theme - a lite-weight version with much less HTML.

  • Tested in all A grade browsers, including IE6.

  • Many comments included in the CSS and templates.



You must first download Genesis and install it in your Drupal site, then add the subthemes.
