1. USE A SUB-THEME, IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD
|
| 6 |
If you plan on making changes, I strongly recommend that you
|
| 7 |
create a sub-theme. Creating a sub-theme is by far the best way
|
| 8 |
to ensure your changes will not be overridden. It is also invaluable
|
| 9 |
when it comes to debugging because you can easily see determine if
|
| 10 |
there are bugs with the Sky theme or with your code. If you don't
|
| 11 |
know how to create one, see this page: http://drupal.org/node/225125
|
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
2. ENABLING TRANSPARENCY SUPPORT FOR IE6
|
| 14 |
The Sky theme comes with transparency support for Internet Explorer
|
| 15 |
6 using IEPNGFIX.HTC (http://www.twinhelix.com/css/iepngfix). You
|
| 16 |
will need to modify the CSS, to include absolute paths from your
|
| 17 |
site root to the Sky theme directory. Absolute paths are required
|
| 18 |
and as I do not know which directory you are going to install in,
|
| 19 |
you'll have to edit this manually. Scroll down for detailed
|
| 20 |
instructions on exactly how to do this, if you are unsure.

#INSTALLATION#
|
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
1. Choose a directory for your themes. It's strongly recommended that
|
| 25 |
you do NOT install this theme in the Drupal theme directory (the directory
|
| 26 |
that contains Garland), because this is considered "hacking core" and
|
| 27 |
because when you upgrade Drupal itself, you risk overwriting any changes
|
| 28 |
you made, or on a Mac, loosing the theme entirely. It is recommended that
|
| 29 |
you install the theme in one of the following directories:
|
| 30 |
* /sites/all/themes/sky
|
| 31 |
* /sites/default/themes/sky
|
| 32 |
* /sites/mysite/themes/sky (if you are running a multi-site setup)
|
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
2. Visit the admin/build/themes page, and enable and set the Sky theme
|
| 35 |
to the default theme.
|
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
3. Not that the theme is enabled, visit the theme settings page, by
|
| 38 |
clicking the "configure" on the admin/build/themes page. There you will
|
| 39 |
find quite a few settings that you can customize.

#TROUBLESHOOTING#
|
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
* Make sure you have the files directory has been created and has the
|
| 44 |
correct permissions assigned. Drupal should take care of this during the
|
| 45 |
installation process, but if you are getting errors that Drupal cannot
|
| 46 |
create the custom.css file, it's likely due to permissions issues or the
|
| 47 |
lack of a files directory.
