-- SUMMARY --

FOOTHEMES ARE GO!

Footheme is a stater sub-theme for Corolla 7.x-2.x and can be easily

modified to use Pixture Reloaded 7.x-2.x or Sky 7.x-2.x, which are all

sub-themes of Adaptivetheme 7.x-2.x.

-- REQUIREMENTS --

Corolla 7.x-2.x is a sub-theme of Adaptivetheme, you must download and install

Adaptivetheme 7.x-2.x first. If you are planning on sub-theming Sky or Pixture Reloaded

you need to install those first, including the base theme:

http://drupal.org/project/adaptivetheme

http://drupal.org/project/corolla

http://drupal.org/project/sky

http://drupal.org/project/pixture_reloaded

-- INSTALLATION --

Install as usual, see http://drupal.org/node/70151 for further information.

-- BUILDING THE SUB-THEME --

Mostly this is all done for you and if you have Corolla 7.x-2.x installed and running you

can just enable this theme and it will work! Hooray!

If you want to subtheme Pixture Reloaded or Sky, or you really want to change the

name from Footheme, then read on.

1. Copy this entire theme and change the name of the folder. Currently the name of the folder

is "footheme", so you might choose "bartheme". In the next step we will use this name for

the info file so this is very important because as far as Drupal is concerned the name of the

info file is the "machine name" of your theme. Don't use spaces or any punctuation other than

underscores. E.g "bar_theme" is OK, but "bar theme" is not OK.

2. footheme.info - first rename this file to match the folder name you chose in step one. Next you

can change the "name", "description" and "version" to whatever you want. Then you need to copy and

paste in some stuff from your base themes info file - the "regions list" and "theme settings list"

from your chosen base theme. The ones there now are from Corolla so just replace them. If you're

using Corolla then you can do nothing, or just change the name and description.

3. Color module stuff - using Corolla? No issue, do nothing. If you're using Pixture Reloaded or Sky

then you need to delete the color folder from this theme and copy/paste in the color folder from

your chosen base theme.

Pixture Reloaded uses images as part of the color process - they are all in the /images folder

in Pixture Reloaded - you should copy and paste that folder in as well.

4. template.php - open up this file and make some changes - search and replace "footheme" for your

themes name.

In footheme_preprocess_html() you will find some stuff about responsive stylesheets and IE conditional

stylesheets - follow those instructions carefully - they are easy and involve renaming some CSS files

to match your theme name.

Done? OK, enable your new theme, go to the theme settings form and make sure it all looks normal,

then save the theme settings at least once. Done - have some fun.
