Design and Layout Suggestions

Of course, having nice "landing pages" could eliminate the need for such links...I'm not really sure which I prefer.

It looks like there are more then one module that will do it (nicemenues, superfish) but it will take some themeing and a little coding to get it working. Does not at all look hard but there should just flat out be a module to do it. I would do the work but I don't have time right now

[zourtney]

Yeah, we could do something like that. It just depends on what you guys want. I'm getting the urge to refine the main site a little more. People don't usually complain when I do, but I think that's because no one notices.

I "mumbling."

And I forgot why I opened this thread in the first place. I was going to suggest something. Hmmm...

EDIT: Oh! Oh! I remembered! I was wondering if anyone thought it'd be worth making another section of the forum. Sometimes I have randomness in my head about posting about pets/wildlife, plants, and food. Now, those don't necessarily fit into the same category...just askin'

[Nick]

Make it food/arts/entertainment? And an animals section under something.... but that could just go under general unless we are going to have lots I guss.

So, I was messing around and found a fairly easy way to implement mobile device themes. So I did. It's disabled right now, but it can be found under the admin section. And I have created a theme called rltheme_mobile under /themes.

And goodnight.

Uh, I'm not really sure where to put this, but I was thinking it might be fun to play with Drupal 7 on a subdomain of Randomland. According to this, they released an alpha version just a few days ago. It may or may not be worth putting any effort into playing with...but so too is Randomland.

Anyway, let me know if you're interested.

[Nick]

Yeah. That cool.  I have been waiting for them do commit to some kind of release. We can throw it up on the test site.

[zourtney]

Sounds good to me. Hey, ho, let's go!

[Nick]

Ok. Lets 'ho' it then.

[Nick]

OK. So the theme has a few problems in the new version of the forum software. Some styling needs fixed and some images and missing or wrong.
Some of the missing images are the ones that tell users if a category has unread posts in it or not, so I thought we might as well personalize it a bit with some new one. I was thinking perhaps some trees or other imagery fitting with randomland. I made some concept trees for your (YES, ALL OF YOU!) consideration Or, does anyone have any other ideas? We could have little RL seals to denote a read or unread status. But thats getting a little full of ourselves.

Here they is:

[zourtney]

I'm loving the gradient tree. I think we should slap that in the seal!

[Nick]

Like this?

[zourtney]

Yes! I like it, like it, like it!

[Nick]

Maybe this? Or this?
Or even this!





The first one seems a little to generic to call it our site logo... but it could work great as a graphic someplace else.

[zourtney]

Oh yea! I like the coloring on the last one a bit better. The lighter color stands out more. And yeah, three trees is the way to go :-)
