We are almost there, RC3 is out and I am thinking how many RC's are ahead. One, maybe two, and then release. In the last RC, I know it's not a good practice, however I had to add a new feature, just because I liked it too much. So a new sub-theme RootCandy dark has been committed.

You can download the latest RC3 on drupal.org project page
or check out the screenshots >here<

Any feedback, testers very welcome! :)

After long nights and many hours spent on this theme, finaly I am able to release alpha version.

The first blog post about rootcandy is dated on Sat, 01/12/2008 - 14:33. Thats quite a long time ago. It went through a lot of itterations (see all blog posts related to rootcandy).

So here it is. An alpha version of rootcandy.

More info and specs after the break.

My blog-post with calendar icons is nearly one year old. I've seen quite a lot of people using it and was surprised. One of the best upgrades was by Joost de Valk (Yoast.com). His article on CSS-Tricks shows his idea to place a bubble with comment count over the calendar icon. Read how it works and how to implement it in your drupal theme.

After a long time, another blog post about what's new since last update.

After visiting Szeged and meeting quite a lot of new faces, I also got some feedback on rootcandy. Thanks all for that.

I have set up a new gallery with latest screenshots -> HERE

Finally I'll make it to my first drupalcon. Can't wait to meet all drupal geeks face to face and make a presentation about administration interface (http://moourl.com/pdl0n).
I am in the process of writing my presentation, thus I want to ask you if you have some interesting administrative interface from other CMS, apps, etc... (from which we can learn something - screenshots, suggestions) I can showcase during presentation, I will be very happy if you can send it over. Comments or contact form whatever works best for you. Thanks and see you in Szeged.

This is a little bit old project, released half a year ago. But I thought I would make a short walkthrough, showcasing what we did with drupal and e-commerce modules.

Last few weeks I've spent most of my time on a new website 'STANDPOINT.OnLine' which is a new UK magazine. Developed for BigKidLondon, drupal again prooved that especially for magazine website, where you need to have editors, publishing queues, and a lots of others magazine related functions, is just perfect.

I had annouced this a while back, that we (me and my mother) are working on free mascots (I guess mascots are still popular). So here they are. I am attaching a hi-res png scan (it's not cleaned up but its good to vectorize it) and later on, we will vectorize and color them digitaly. You might have noticed that the teaser image is colored by hand, done quickly to give you some inspiration. ;)

The png contains two mascots. Boy and a girl, no names right now, but we are trying to find some. Any suggestions? :) Currently each of them has 7 poses. We will extend this pack later on though.

After one year with the old design, I have decided to re-design my site in my spare time. It took me 2 days to make a new design (using gimp(, including logo (blender+gimp) and then drupal theming. Yes, it was that easy with drupal. ;)

I am going to contribute the old theme, which quite a lot of people liked, to d.o. focused on blogging. I hope that someone (maybe acquia?) will create a nice install profile for bloggers, once. I am just tired of seeing everywhere posts like "20 Excellent Wordpress Blog Designs", etc... :) drupal can do it better we all know it ;) Can't wait to see showcases of drupal sites on popular magazines such as SmashingMagazine.

And btw, my Calendar icons were featured on smashing magazine. That means a lot of people (I guess most of them bloggers and/or designers looking for inspiration) hitted this drupal blog.

I will soon post an update on rootcandy and other projects.

Another update of the admin theme RootCandy. This time I have tried something I wanted to do in the first version and also what was suggested in usability group afaik. Everyone knows that forms on node edit or add and admin configuration might become very long.

I've moved all fieldsets into the right sidebar, and implemented thickbox (all with jquery and theme_fieldset). See some screenshots how it looks like. It's not tweaked, and currently this is available only on node/add and node/nid/edit pages. I know that for example input format fields should stay under body, this can be easily changed. This is a dev snapshot.
