Bending Zen – An intro to using the Zen Theme for Drupal

dudenhofer.com – The Zen Theme is a powerful theme that is created to be a starting point for new themers. There is a lot of functionality involved in the Zen Theme that has always made it hard for me to give it up completely to do a theme completely from scratch. The Zen Theme is well commented and is a great way for web designers to get into theming for Drupal. This video contains my personal suggestions, based on what I have learned since working with Drupal. I only hope to spark a light for those who don’t know where to start. Please be sure to check Drupal’s best practices for quality theming drupal.org The Zen Theme can be found here: drupal.org For more information dudenhofer.com

    ZEN on its own has great insight on setting up a sub-theme using zen-theme, i don,t know if your using winshit7 or linux, ? What you want to do if you want to read is install the Zen theme, then go into the README.txt files, in? them files you will find… yes you got it, read me file on overriding and making a sub theme. Really i understand what your saying, the power of drupal and all vids, you have to understand everyone got there own set up that works only for them. Find yours!!

    Are there any detailed how tos that are not videos? What is Drupal’s fascination with Videos? Why can’t there be any nice written how to’s so we can all learn.
    It is almost that Drupal advocates are discriminatory against hearing impared… hard to hear when you can’t hear at all.

    Any one know of detailed zen how? tos in writing, especially using it responsively.

    Thanks
